Installing the Win2K patch may have included the SP1 patches; I'm not familiar with the Win2K patch to Win95, and I do not support Win95 any more, finding that Win98 and WSH 2.0 make for a far easier and more stable environment than Win95. If the machines are running OSR2 (the OEM version that came after the original Win95, normally referred to as Win95b or Win95c) then you're fine, since all the OSR2 releases included more than the SP1 patch to the original retail Win95 that shipped in August of 1995. It's definite about the requirement for DCOM; I wrote a FAQ on it, and there are MSKB entries describing the problems related to not installing DCOM properly. If you've installed IE4 on the machines, the shell upgrades needed by Win95 to run VFP6 are definitely in place.
