No. 3.x has a setup utility available from dos to fix things.
It's like a primitive safe mode.

Eg c:\windows\setup.exe
Though it might be in windows\system

Was there someone else?
Did you try it?

If I'm not quoted, I don't assume anything is directed at me. Like this comment. I didn't try it as I didn't understand it.

Correct yes, I even redownloaded Windows 3.11 for Workgroups OEM as well as MS-Dos 6.22 in case it was an issue with my own version I already had.

When making the template disk I use ultraiso with the no to all option.

Wondering if you ever got this sorted? I know OP doesn't provide support, but I'm in the same pickle.

No, I never got it to work.

I'd be curious to see screenshots of each step.
There are only 4 main steps

I'm probably just going to brute force install DOS and Win98SE at this point. We're dealing with 30 year old systems and OSes, and I miss the modern conveniences associated with modern installation. That and minor hardware compatibility issues is throwing me considering I'm installing to real hardware.

Test it in a vm.
If it works, copy to real drive and see what happens.

Frankly, I'd upload a full iso and hdd image if it would last more than 3 seconds before deletion

@myne

Can you consider adding these to your template?

https://github.com/ages2001/WINAUDIO
https://github.com/ages2001/WINUSB
https://github.com/ages2001/WINDISK
https://github.com/ages2001/WINVBE

WINDISK should go all the way to 2TB too, but that would need swapping DOS 6.22 for 7.10.

for ISO upload you can try - https://buzzheavier.com/
should stay up if enough people download

What do you think?

I don't really have the time to test it right now.
But they all have oemsetup.infs so it should be relatively straightforward to add them to the only 4 setup files I modified.

I'd start with setup.inf. I'm pretty sure the rest aren't relevant
