Please help. I want to play a 1995 32 bit game that I downloaded online on my 64 bit Windows 8.1 laptop. I don't understand why DOSBox tells me "This program must be run on Win32," but I thought this program was called DOSBox Win32 Installer.

1. sounds as if you are using an illegal download hence the thread got locked. We don't support that here
2. DOSBox is a DOS emulator - not a Windows emulator.
3. win32 installer means that DOSBox is for Windows 32bit (but can still run on Windows 64bit).
