I have Windows For Workgroups 3.11 installed in DOSBox after following the this guide. I want to install Monopoly but get the message "Win32s require share.exe. Filre-sharing must be enabled."
That's pretty ironic, I've been having the same exact problem all day. I'm using Windows 3.1. I've gotten around this in the past but I don't remember how I did it. I manually installed Win32s, which let me continue even though share.exe wasn't loaded. Still can't get the Monopoly installer to run.
Figured it out. Manually copy over the MONOPOLY folder from the CD to the C drive. Manually install WING and WIN32s from the CD drive. Make sure cputype is set to 486_slow. Then, in Windows, go to File -> Run -> C:\MONOPOLY\MONOPOLY.EXE and it'll work.
Just a-wondering why you used DOSBox+W3x to install and play Monopoly? I'm assuming that you are refering to the old Monopoly CD by Westwood?
If so, Westwood's Monopoly CDROM runs just fine under Windows XP using XP's 'compatability mode' feature (see attached pic) 😀 Not sure about running the game under Vista or W7 though.
(edit) Oh, and I'm running Monopoly CDROM with the v1.3 upgrade patch applied (Google for monpch13.exe or monpch13.zip)... not sure if it will run under XP without it.
BTW, check this message thread -> Westwood Studios' Monopoly CD-ROM (from 1995) , wonder if any of y'all might be able to shed any light on that one?

How to ask questions the smart way!
I think if you don't use windows XP/VISTA/7 you just don't plan to play games. Do companies release games for systems other than: windows, xbox, playstation? I think it was like that in the past too. So nothing to worry about.
dunno dosbox enables me to play those games. Hence I can run a different OS more comfortably.

Ah yes, and so wrong.
There is also a fakeshare exe around that enables you to start applications and games that need it. I need to discuss with the devs whether I should/can attach this to my guide with the proper warnings (stuff can break and data loss in the office applications is a high posibility)...
