Hi to all,
i am appreciating DosBox for my old Dos program that thanks to it i can run them under windows 7 at 64 Bit.
I want to know if there is also a possibility trough the DosBox to install a 16 Bit program?
If yes which is the procedure please?
Thanks in advance.
Any help will be really appreciated
Enzo

Install Windows 3.x in DOSBox. (Refer to guides section of forum)
Run Windows program.

If 16bit Windows 9x program then use Vmware or Virtual PC.

Read correctly.
Install Windows 3.x in Dosbox, then install the app in Windows 3.x running in Dosbox. If you don't have windows 3.x you need to buy it from ebay or so.

There is a tutorial but it is called guide in the guises section of the forum (as Dosfreak wrote)

You can't install Windows XP in Dosbox. You (probably) CAN install the program in Windows XP though.

If you had the foresight to get Win7 Pro and not just Home, you can download XP Mode to run 16-bit Windows programs.
