Sorry, I am just repeating what I've read in the mailing list and Wiki,
particularly this thread:
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200608/msg00692.html
>From that message:
~~~
- GTK2.8 (and higher) definitely won't even work with 9x
- WinPcap no longer actively supports Win9x (so it may or may not work)
- Microsoft don't support 9x any longer
~~~
Plus it seems no Wireshark developer even has access to a Win98 system so they
can't even _try_ to support it, even if they wanted to and even if the
tools/libraries Wireshark needs supported Win98.
