Yes, you'd need the win9x version, not the win32 version ;)

What don't you understand in the error message?

Please download the win9x binary and try again.
To me it sounds like you need to download the win9x binary, instead of the win32 binary that you've downloaded.

To be honest, since Win98 does, to my knowledge, run on a 32bit system, downloading the 32bit version would make sense if I didn't notice the win9x version. Perhaps a slight rewording, maybe something to:

Win32(2000/XP/03/Vista)
Win32(9x/ME)

may make more sense. I added the ME because not everyone is aware it is part of the Windows 9x family.
