Install Windows 95 Using Dosbox

Install Windows 3.1 RELATED: First, you’ll need to create a folder on your computer. This folder will contain the contents of the “C:” drive you’ll provide to DOSBox. Don’t use your actual C: drive on Windows for this.

Make a folder like “C: dos”, for example. Create a folder inside the “C: dos” folder — for example, “C: dos INSTALL” — and copy all the files from your Windows 3.1 floppy disks to that folder. Windows 3.1 is still under Microsoft copyright, and can’t legally be downloaded from the web, although many websites do offer it for download and Microsoft no longer offers it for sale. You can use Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 — whichever you have available. Next, install and launch.

Thanks for any help. I had that game called 'Fallout'. An awesome game from 1997. It also had a patch 1.1 and a dos version. I could play the game on my computer after working with the config and stuff. But I wanted to show how cool this game actually is to my 'non geek' friends. I thought about using iDos application (which uses DosBox) to run the dos version of the game.

The problem I got was the game freezing a lot, the app crashing. Not loading at all. I got the game to work after 2 days of research. But the graphics were really glitchy and the sound was gone. (And sound = atmosphere of the game, the experience) I couldn't enjoy the game without sound.

Guide - Windows 95 on DOSBox 0.74. For Documentation: Userguides and howto's. The trick here is to copy the installation files over to your newly formatted hard disk and then perform the install from there. (If you don't have an image already, consider making one anyway. Discs degrade over time and will become unreadable, especially if it's. May 30, 2010 - Old guide wrote: You just can't do it while in DOSBox's own DOS shell--you need to boot up. In a little while, Windows 95 will be installed.

So i thought about installing windows through iDos. I googled and found out that i can install windows 3, windows 95, windows 98 or windows me. I don't know why, but i downloaded an.img file of windows 98.

It took me a good 5 hours to get it to work. After doing that i tried to connect a 'fake disk' to windows 98. But I failed. So i used an app called WinImage to open up the files in.img file. Then i added the fallout setup files.

After that I used iDos to boot windows. Installed fallout on the img using iDos. Then when i tried booting the game i got a message that the game can only run in windows 95. I downloaded windows 95 and deleted 98. I was faster this time, got it to work in under 10 minutes! Nice, isn't it?

I installed fallout again. It told me to download directx 3.0 or higher. So i downloaded directx 6.1 and installed. The install also asked me if i wanted to install a driver. I said 'yes'.

But then the whole windows crashed. Wtc goudy swash bold. I reinstalled everything and said 'no' this time. Everything is going well. I tried to boot the game now. It came up with a warning: This app needs to be run with 256 color or higher. Or something like that. Anyway i then looked up at the control panel, to display.

I only had 16 color or monochrome. And the display was only 640x480. I googled a lot to find a working win95a graphic driver. I installed it.

It got installed well. Then i chose new graphics card adaptor.
