You MIGHT be able to get it to install (installation uses Windows 3.1 for install and Windows 3.1 runs fine in DosBox).

As for actually getting Windows 98 to start you won't be able to so don't even try. Supposedly some forum members have been able to get Windows 98 to start up by patching DosBox but it's not DosBox's goal to run Windows 9x (nor should it be....).

Use Qemu. It runs Wndows 9x perfectly. (Except for D3D of course 🙁 )

Also I can confirm that C&C runs perfectly under the latest version of Qemu.

THX a lot and sorry 4 doubeled posting...

The Windows version too? It was for Unix systems mostly wasn't it? I read on their website that the Windows version is still in alpha, which is something I don't like using too much. (alpha= still very far away from completion with many non-working options not ot mention not the best stability usually.

labeling something alpha or beta helps to keep noobs away.
So it might be more stable then you expect

office will even work for win 3.1 😁

Tom

how did you manage to install it ?

I need to be clear about a couple things first, sorry if I gave anyone the wrong impression about office and DosBox.

What I have installed is just word 6.0 before office 95 office came in separate packages. I tried to install Excel 5.0 but I can't and I know why.. As you will see from the Shot Word 6.0 is the french version I have Excel 5.0 Spanish and Win 3.11 English and trust me you don't want to mix three win 3.11 lang apps together.

Lets just say Word 6 and excel 5 are out there <grin>

The Word 6.0 install went without any trouble I should note. it ask me about clip art and I'm not fluent in french so I said no and the install progressed.

I plan to test Office 95 next, and from the question it looks as if it doesn't install?

Tom

At least it won't run stable for several reasons.

I removed the Screen Shot, I am going to start a new thread on this subject and post a new shot there.

You guys should really give qemu a shot. I've tried it, and regarding Win95 and up, it is as cool as DOSBox is for DOS/Win3.1. All the expected hardware works (sound, networking, svga, serial/parallel, even USB), it has some clever guest/host file sharing options, optional virtualization on x86, and all of it works as painlessly as DOSBox (which means you do need to read a manual page and set some options, but most things work fine out-of-the-box).

I did it, and it occasionally makes me have to restart dosbox, but I can run dosbox Inside dosbox

Please DON'T necropost. This thread is 8 years old
