Yeah, I‘m running my 30 years old perfect WfW install (with Norton Desktop) in DOSBox nowadays. Only needed to rip out some drivers.

I thought I managed to install all DOS 6.22 from a folder back in the day, but I might confuse this with getting Windows 3.x installed from a folder. It's been a while... Edit: and this seems relevant: Installing DOS 6.22 Setup Disks without Floppy drive

And best to play DOS games in DOS and not from within Windows (be it 3.x or 95+). You will run into problems eventually. Use Windows 3.x for Windows 3.x games 😀 And just for games Windows 3.1 is enough.

Closed. We do not allow abandonware links on Vogons and besides that you already posted such a link, everything else is likely to be an abandonware site as well.

Please don't post links to warez sites or Discords,or similar. Archive.org is already questionable.

How about you try DOSBox? It runs Windows 3.x quite well and might be a better choice for what you are aiming at. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=9405 One problem is the missing share. Most programs that don't really need it but query it are fine with fakeshare but if that fails a fork …

Yes! Back in the days I was able to use UMBPCI to load EVERYTHING and still have enough conventional memory for Ultima7 😉

Now that you have it working, try getting smartdrive to work as well. That should work better if it doesn‘t take too much memory again
