I’d recommend you to just deselect all the boxes if you’re not familiar with early Windows’ setup programs. It’ll ask you to confirm the entered values, press Continue again. It’s asking you to enter your name, company name, some product number… Enter the data and click Continue. The Setup will first check if there’s a network adapter in DOSBox, just wait until you see this screen: Windows will copy some files and switch to the graphical part. If you don’t know which one to select, use Express Install. Now you have to press ENTER and you can either select Express Install or Custom Install. If it won’t detect your Windows 3.1 files, restart it and run the mount commands again) Now put the Windows 3.1 installation files to the c:\somepath\a directory (a quick note here: I noticed that DOSBox sometimes won’t recognize new files in existing folders. Create two folders for disk A and C somewhere on your computer and run these commands: mount a c:\somefolder\a I’m really sorry for this tiny low-res picture, it’s because the scaling doesn’t work nice on my 4K monitorįirst we’re going to mount folders as drives to be able to transfer files around with ease. You’ll be greeted by something like this: A copy of Windows 3.1 (you can use any release you want, I’ll be using Windows 3.11 for Workgroups English for Central-Eastern Europe)Īt this point I assume that you know how to install the DOSBox itself, un-7zip the files and open DOSBox.DOSBox itself ( ) – this thing has been ported to numerous OSes so it really shouldn’t be a problem.OK, so we actually don’t need anything really hard to get to run Windows 3.1 on DOSBox – no ROMs, no DOS install media, etc. Set up graphics and sound (in Windows 3.1).With this I mean that we’ll move from Macs (for a while) and rather do some old DOS stuff! I haven’t posted anything in a while, so I thought I’d kick this thing off with some DOSBox and Windows 3.1.Īs I don’t want this blog to become a list of old articles about Classic Mac emulation, we’re going to do something different today.
