link for what? the mini 1x? the mini 2x? the mini 3x? Why not make your own... it's not hard. All you need is a dos boot disk with space to copy the rest.
I think the stuff in the Windows\System directory should cover a lot of it. Then you need win.com, system.ini, win.ini, and progman.exe.
The four files you listed might yield results... and yeah, some of those DLL's are needed. I guess you could install a clean stripped 3.1 (no extra features) that way you will have just the basics installed, then go from there.
Nice find! although....
MS-DOS 7.10 Full Version is totally compatible with Win/WFW 3.x, without the needs of any changes or patches.
I guess he/they patched IO.SYS already because 7.x isn't readily compatible unless you patch it. As for older versions, it's a simple matter of using setver and adding their bin file to the list (win200.bin, win100.bin) and giving them a happy dos version... like 3.33 or 5.
Ok, if you were to actually install windows 95 (later versions) or windows 98, and then try running windows 3.x, it would not work, you need to patch the system files. For them to claim that 3.x works without this would mean they have already done that for you (not hard... just a simple little file, had it somewhere).
In order for versions of windows 2.x or 1.x to work, you need to add something to SETVER (a program that makes older programs think they are running on an older version of DOS). I don't remember the exact syntax to adding new lines as I haven't done it in a while, but you would add win200.bin for win 2.x and win100.bin for win 1.x. For all I know, win200.bin may already be added, at least dos 6.22 included it already (that's how I figured out how to get 1.x to work in 6.22, I looked at setvers lists).
