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.
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.
@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.
@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)
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?
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 3.1 (NEC OEM) (English) here is for standard PC-AT Architecture NEC Computers, not for PC-98, as these only got Japanese Windows and NEC sold normal PC-AT systems in the US and elsewhere!

The Gateway 2000 OEM version works fine running in 86Box using Award 486 clone.
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.
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
If it's too hard to Use PCem Or 86box, Use QEMU Or DOSbox
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 are you trying to install and in which emulator/hypervisor?
how can i install windows archives to 86box? (like english for central europe)
or they can't be installed on that emulator?
Just copy the contents to a virtual ISO ( I use BurnAware ), then run setup from the D drive.
