Windows 3.1 and FreeDOS

Asked by scottmso in Windows 3.x Setup

Tags: windows, freedos

I have FreeDOS Beta 8. Whenever I try to install Windows 3.1 on FreeDOS, I get a General Protection Fault. Does it have something to do with the XMS drivers that Windows tries to install on FreeDOS? I tried an install on a Virtual PC virtual machine with MS-DOS and it got past that point but didn't complete later in the install.Start Free Trial
