This build is from January 1998 and is beta 3, not RC0.

No problem, also, beta guides tend to be slightly outdated (especially on later builds), so checking the files is the fastest way of getting proper version and date info.

How is extracting one CAB and looking at one INF a hard thing to do, I wouldn’t say anything if you needed to check multiple files in multiple cabs but this is just about setuppp.inf

The RC0 disc I have in my collection is build 1691 and is dated Feb 18, 1998. Even says it right on the artwork:
