If it's for Windows 3.1 you can install that in DOSBox.

Grab your win3.x installation disks, copy them into one directory, mount the
directories according to the regular guiding, then install it.

Only for the records.
Perhaps you would like to run Ace Ventura inside dosbox, but this game can run under Win7 changing the compatibility mode of ACE.EXE to WinXP SP2. It will run full screen.

However.
That only will work, if the host is 32-bit, which is a minority now, so you can not just give this advice to anyone 2 years later.
