Installing MSDE SP3 to Win98 causes an error.

Ok I have an MSI file that installs an instance of the MSDE. I recently updated my install to used the SP3 MSMs of the MSDE. I have the installation working correctly on XP. However it fails rather quickly on install to Win98. I will paste the log file of the failure below.

To create the installation I used the VisualStudio installer. Afte the installtion I use ORCA and edit the MSI with the following values in the property table.

ProductLanguage = 1033
SqlBlankPwd = 1
SqlSecurityMode = SQL

No special actions are being used by my installer. Yet according to MS the reason for my error is that I am using a special action with a non-c++ dll (KB Article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B306627)) . I am guessing that this is something that MS is doing. Has anyone else gotten a successful install of SP3 onto Win98? Any info would be helpful.
