I am trying to install Windows 98 on a pretty modern computer, from 2010. Why? Because I want to see if I can.

Not much chance of that on a newer machine.

Get the CAB files and copy to a folder on the machine you are trying to install Windows 98 on. Run Setup.exe and see if it installs.

Failing that, make a Virtual Machine for Windows 98.

Here is the CAB file structure for a Windows 98 install. CAB files get copied to Windows\Options and includes the Setup.exe to run the install.
