Hello,

When I am going to install Windows 98 SE through a bootable USB, at the end of the process, I get an error, it is the following;

error 13, invalid or unsupported executable format.
If someone can help me I would be so thankful.

Well you probably got a non-bootable Win98 ISO

You need the OEM ISO - if you use 7zip, you should see it has something like [BOOT] listed if it is bootable

Do you know where I can get a bootable ISO? I've been looking since you replied and can't find anything.
Thanks for your help.

Look for Windows 98 - on the linked site - download the Windows 98 Second Edition (OEM Full)  ISO

Winworldpc is usually a reliable choice for abandonware ISOs
