UO:98 is an extension to the UO Demo released by Origin Systems in 1998 on the Ultima Online:Second Age CD. The UO Demo (demo) is an offline tutorial for Ultima Online. The Demo featured only the town of Ocllo, and a quest that a player could complete while learning about the Game and Client. UO:98 unlocks many of the features that exist in the UO Demo such as the ability for others to connect with a regular UO Client, the ability to use the built in staff tools, and the expansion of the playing world to the entire map, and world saving. UO:98 also adds new features such as an accounting system, full world decoration, and support for later UO Client versions.
Installation prerequisites
In addition to requiring the Ultima Online:The Second Age CD, the UO:98 distribution also requires (at a minimum), the following software installed or available on the target platform.
- Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or 7
- Microsoft .Net 4.0 Client Profile.
- Ultima Online Client version 1.25.35 through 5.x

Installing UO:98
You must have the UO Client installed to your PC first. Note that under Windows 7 and Vista it is not recommended to install the UO Client in "Program Files" or on the root of the C drive (C:\) due to security issues with these folders. The installer will offer to direct you to the Download page for the Microsoft .Net 4.0 framework. If it is not installed at the time of installation you will need to re-run the installer after the completion of the Framework install. It's best practice to place the Ultima Online : The Second Age CD in your CD Rom drive before beginning the installation so that the installer can find your copy of the required UoDemoInstall.exe file on that disk. Installation should be relatively straightforward. If you have trouble, please visit the UO:98 forums for help
