Well, from the errors, mostly concerning “storage” and “dbs”, I would guess that the problem may be related to the database drivers (as Technical said) - you may try to get them from www.microsoft.com/data - but I’m not sure if it’ll help. You may also try to change the database type: open Data\avast4.ini file and in the section [Common], change Database=ODBC to Database=XML - but again, I’m not sure if it’ll have any (positive) effect.
I suppose that without IE (or with an older version than required), you’d have problems with the Enhanced User Interface, with the iNews and probably with the helps. The other basic operation may work, but…
Btw, I don’t know 98lite (heard of it years ago, but never checked it) - but I don’t think it’s a good idea to use a system library (which shell32.dll certainly is) from a different version of the OS - I’d bet it can cause troubles.
As for the original question - I don’t think it’s as easy as copying a few DLLs to the system. I don’t know what exactly is avast! using, but it won’t be explorer.exe directly; I’d rather expect some “registerable” libraries like mshtml.dll, shdocvw.dll or similar - and I think a simple copying those files from a newer system won’t work, cause they’ll be dependent on some other files and setttings… but I may be wrong of course.
