The Gateway 2000 OEM version works fine running in 86Box using Award 486 clone.

We do. It's called Windows NT.

An interesting little feature in the Windows 3.1 (Gateway 2000 OEM - Nomad 486) version of Windows 3.1, is the "Shutdown" application, which doesn't seem to appear in any other versions of 3.1.

@jonirob A similar feature was integrated into Windows 95 and beyond.

Hello. How do I fix run-time error R6003 integer divide by 0 when attempting to install Windows 3.1 build 3.10.026? I'm using PCem with a 30Mb VHD, single 1.44Mb 3.5 Inch VFD, i386DX/33, VGA, 16Mb ram, and MS-DOS 6.22. Please help.

@JamesRules2018
I've not tried 3.10.026 in PCem, but I have it running well in 86Box, this is my config.

Machine: [486 ISA] Award 486 clone
CPU: Intel i486SX/16
Memory: 16Mb
Display: [ISA] Tseng ET4000AX
HD:: IDE 30 Mb.
MS-DOS 6.22.

@jonirob Ok. I'll try that. By the way, once you get the chance, can you test it in PCem? If you can figure out a PCem config for it that would be great! I'm doing a little project for myself.

@JamesRules2018
Just tried it in PCem 14 with this config:

Machine: [486] AMI WinBIOS 486
CPU: AMD Am486DX2/80
Memory: 16Mb
Graphics: Tseng ET4000AX
HD: 30Mb
MS-DOS 6.22

@jonirob Thanks! By the way, If you wanted to know what my project is, I'm trying out all windows builds on here. It's a silly little project. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have the disk space and/or the time for it, but if you wanted to, I'll (try to) provide a list of my configs.

I used UltraISO to make an image in VMware12. Pro MS-dos7.10 is installed in the VIRTUAL machine. When I try to boot, VMware reports an error and prompts me that the CPU has entered the shutdown state. How can I solve this problem? (Intel CORE 2Duo U9600 CPU,@ 1.6ghz)

@WuJunhao install it in PCem or 86box, don't use VMware or VirtualBox

Whenever I attempt to install Windows 3.11 OEM Workgroups for Windows on top of MS-DOS 6.2, I get an error shutting down the installation while running Disk #2 of the Windows for Workgroups. The error tells me I must click F3 and exit the installation because a WinHelp file is either corrupt or needs to be created. Any suggestions?

MrCreeper

@gplomb Use PCem Or 86box, Use virtualbox/VMware if it's for Youtube
If it's too hard to Use PCem Or 86box, Use QEMU Or DOSbox

I installed Windows 3.1 RTM on PCem and it works perfectly fine. I also installed some programs to keep my pcem computer even powerful, aswell as i installed Calmira XP and Tseng ET4000AX Video Driver. Thanks for the support!

I think there's a mislabel, i'm not sure because i haven't installed it yet but Windows 3.1 [Simplified chinese] in archive type, is supposed to be 3.2... 3.1 never released in china.

Windows 3.10.034e is a mislabel. its 34f. Sources: https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_3.1_build_034f https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_3.1x#Windows_3.1

Windows 3.1 (Dell OEM) (3.5-1.44mb) doesn't work, I put in Disk1 but it says: No bootable medium found! Please insert a bootable medium and reboot.

If you had bothered to actually READ the release page:

To Install: Windows 3.1 requires an installation of either MS-DOS or PC-DOS and we recommend using MS-DOS 6.22 if you are unsure of a version.

Which version is 3.10.104? (RTM Upgrade, not Eastern European)
