Windows 95 RTM Floppy Serial key question

Can someone please inform me on how to do the serial key work around for the floppy install?

  • Why not use google search before you've asked the question?

    I don't think that's what OP was looking for.

    From what I can gather, there's some bug in the 95 RTM floppy install that prevents it from accepting serials (including legit ones) so it is impossible to install without a workaround. OP would like to know how to perform this workaround. Here it is, from the corresponding Library page:

    You may also override the install type (no serial needed) by creating a file name MSBATCH.INF with the lines "[Setup]", and then "ProductType=1", placing that in the Win95 setup folder, and then running setup.

    Before asking the question, you recommend to use Google search or WinWorld search.

    Please do not quote my whole sentence again.

  • You might also need to add the line: “CCP=0”. That tells it not to be an upgrade version. The standard floppy set is an upgrade version.

    But I have always had weird issues with doing that on the floppy upgrade. I’d recommend you use the files from the CD version instead. Or just feed it a serial. Nothing checks the serial after installation.
