Answer» I got a machine that only has msdos 5 on it. I copied win311 install files to hdd and tried to install. I received "cannot execute setup.exe"
I THOUGHT it might have SOMETHING to do with memory so I went and tried to run C:\Dos\emm386.exe. Also, received "cannot execute emm386.exe"
This is a packard bell 386.
The only thing in config.sys is himem.sys, setver and dos=high,umb
autoexec.bat has mouse and command.com
I meet the system requirements, is there something i'm forgetting? I'm trying to remember this stuff i have forgotten and i am really stuck.
Any help will be appreciated.Last time I had a PROBLEM like thing long ago it was the Michael Angelo Virus. But I also had disk read issued with floppys.
Try a virus scan. Also check PATH to make sure all is well there too. Also reinstall DOS 5 to make sure command.com system file is clean. Then install Win 3.11
Even better is if you have DOS 6.22 on hand to replace DOS 5 for more features.
