Okay, so you need to install Windows 3.1 in DOSBox, then. (Many people have done this successfully; you should be able to find detailed instructions elsewhere in the forums.)

That link you posted most likely refers to the DOS version of SimAnt.

(You also might be able to get the Macintosh version running on a PC with an appropriate emulator, namely Basilisk II, but running Windows 3.1 in DOSBox is probably much simpler.)

compatable for IBM 286, Windows 3.1 & 95.

Windows 64 bit doesn't like 16bit programs that's why it doesn't work on XP64 (at least I *think* that's the reason).
And why it doesn't work on plain Dosbox is also logical when you look at what I quoted. It needs Windows not Dos, so if you install Windows 3.1x on Dosbox the game should run fine (Windows 3.1x runs great in Dosbox, btw)

Makes sense, but do I need Windows 3.1 to install it? Where do I get it? I will check the forums in the meantime.

obviously yes, since you are not able to install it in any other way and I guess the game itself runs only in Windows as well. Windows 3.1x can not legally be downloaded so please don'T ask for it. It can be found in some places, for example I found a copy at a place that sells old stuff for charity.

Alternatively, you just might be able to get it to run under Linux using Wine. You don't necessarily have to install Linux on your computer to do this; it is included with Knoppix and other "live" Linux CDs.

Does Wine support Win16?
