It's been a while, but I recall Win98 and Inline mixing like oil and water. All due to the flaky command.com shell. If you are serious about using Inline on Win32, consider NT 2K or XP. They use the cmd shell which actually works.
You'll also need the programs cl.exe and nmake.exe from Visual Studio. Best of luck.
