Solve : problem installing Windows 3.1(3.x) on Microsoft virtual machine? |
|
Answer» The POINT that people are making, although maybe not very explicitly, is that MS-DOS is not freeware. Neither are old versions of WINDOWS. They are copyrighted Microsoft products, and because of this you need to get them LEGALLY. A full install set of Windows 3.1 includes an MS-DOS 6.22 full install set, does it not? So what are these disks you have? A full install set of Windows 3.1 includes an MS-DOS 6.22 full install set, does it not? No, Windows 3.1 didn't include any version of DOS; it had 7 disks and a manual. the box should have said "DOS sold separately"You SHOULD be able to run Windows 3.1 under FREEDOS (A free equivalent to MS-DOS) Freedos: http://www.freedos.org/ Quote from: BC_Programmer on April 28, 2010, 10:40:07 AM No, Windows 3.1 didn't include any version of DOS; it had 7 disks and a manual. I think I was getting confused because the Compaq I bought in 1993 came with both install sets. |
