I went through similar trials with version 1 of Photo lab and Photobrowser with the DS on Windows98. And the fact that version 2 of the Pentax software didn't install on Win98 was truly annoying.
In the end, though, it doesn't really matter. A card reader and a third party raw converter is all that's needed to use win98 and the DS.
