winrar 3.80 was the last i got to work on my windows 95 osr 2.5 systems, newer versions did not work for me, although i don't remember which exact version(s) newer than 3.80 that didn't work, although you listed 3.92 as working. i use version 3.80 on 98SE as well.

Does anyone else face a similar issue?Are there any other flags I can use to pass the parameters to the executable that is called by the self extractor.I read the following documentation about the available flags. -tr.com/winrar/Help/ENG/html/HELPGUISFXCmd.htm
