The sim runs nicely on W2K, no thanks to UBI's "requirement"!
I would guess it may run, (although a little slowly), on a 5700 board.
The 5700 was a considerably more capable card than the infamous 5600 flop.
Don't have a '98 rig to try it on, but doubt things would go well.

So, no, you can't run SH4 on Win98 (or Win2000). Sorry about that.

Im sure SH3 can be run on Windows 2000 Professional with SPK 4 update:hmm:

Edit: just read the above post.

Maybe try an NTFS format of 98se, with memory tweaks in place before attempting install?
