I'll jump in here... As I understand it, to be Win98 compliant, software must be able to UNinstall itself through the Control Panel Add/Remove programs.

Many packages are available to assist you in these circumstances. I think they need to build a database of your clean system so they can restore to this state after you install something and change your mind.
