I keep getting the same error about my system having -64kB RAM. I've tried multiple machines. Each machine I've tried in Win 3.11, Win95, and Win98. Same error. Anyone familiar with this?
So how much RAM do you have? What's the detailed specification(s) of your system(s)?

Looks like many in one pair of computers might confused the software.
Have you tried a dedicated windows 98SE computer with 256MB or 512MB? Preferably with geforce2 MX400 or GTS.

Not sure what you mean by "dedicated win98se computer". I don't have the various Operating Systems on the same CF card. In theory, every time I put in a new CF card with, say, W98SE installed, or Win 3x, it is a dedicated system. No different as if I were using actual HDDs. Which I do for my 2000s builds...
I could reproduce this on Win3.1 and 95 (didn't bother to try 98). That installer simply doesn't seem to handle more than 32MB RAM. You exceed that, it starts seeing negative values. So, remove some of it. Or just run the other exe on the disc - afaict you don't need to go through the setup... edit: my bad, you do for it to unpack a bunch of .wav files

I'm thinking the same. I have another system in the basement with only 12 MB of RAM. I guess I'll pull it out and test it just for piece of mind. I was checking out the .avi's on the disc and it's all low resolution videos from MK3 and Behind the Scenes of MK Movie (1996). For something that calls itself "The Ultimate Guide to Mortal Kombat", it should really let you know it's not. 🤣
