To quote Mike Maltby:-
You can extract a new copy of wininit.exe from the Win Me cab set.
Wininit.exe is contained in WIN_17.CAB of the Win Me cab set and can be
replaced using MSConfig | General | Extract File ... and following the
prompts. The "cab" files are in the Win9x folder on the Win Me CD and/or in
a
sub-folder of Windows\Options. See MS KB129605 - "HOW TO: Extract Original
Compressed Windows Files" (
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=129605) for
details of how to extract files from the cab set.
Wininit.exe belongs in your windows folder.
