If you are having problems with install on Vista/Seven, run package as Administrator. Windows 3.11 in DOSBox. Just a method of running Windows 3.11 in DOSBox Stable release 0.74-2, for personal use. The idea was inspired initially by my desire to re-visit some After Dark screen savers, and a recent discussion over at r/dosgaming.

With the files shown above, I wonder how to setup a network for DOS + Windows 3.11 environment.
- Interesting, but that would remove a lot of stuff you might actually need.
- I've played with putting Windows 3.x on a floppy before. I usually start from MINI.CAB on a 9x installer, and then add what I want from there. If you use PKUNZIP (or the smaller JR variant) and a RAM disk, you can fit quite a bit on there. I'd try again to see if I could fit say, Trumpet Winsock and a packet driver onto it.
- It would be a great idea if you are interested on this to put it as a download under the windows 3.11 tab. As you are the admin

Well, not entirely true...We don't need hackjobs here. This is a hackjob and provides no benefit to the community.
This is from the 'about' section by the way:
Less fortunate circumstances might include not having a hard drive or CD-ROM drive.In addition to aiding young geeks like us, we also aim to help people in less fortunate circumstances, who may not have the resources or means to acquire modern hardware and software.
Just saying.
[Sorry if this violates any rules that I am unaware of.]
Yes, the mini.cab file in the Win9x CDs was awesome, and I would get a small NTFS driver for MS-DOS/Windows 3.x and put it on the floppy disk, which would result in the best recovery thing-y ever.
Edit: No, it shouldn't be added to the Windows 3.x section, but uploaded somewhere else on this site.- If we collected custom boot disks we could easily have a collection of 100,000 and the important ones would get lost.
Any custom items here need to provide a justified benefit to the community. This is why we have the CDU MS-DOS '7.1' CD, because some people genuinely need to install a DOS environment without a floppy and without pulling updates and components from 100 different sources.
This Windows 3.11 boot disk would have made an interesting novelty back around 2005. But 'modern' machines don't have floppy drives, increasingly won't boot USB floppies or DOS, lack PS/2 mice or keyboard emulation, and so on. VM/Emulators are not limited to floppy images. And people restoring an earlier computer would have more pressing concerns such as bootable diagnostics or installation media.
Please feel free to make a case for this or other custom disks. I could easily be overlooking some use that is important to others. But at the same time, we can't just add things willy-nilly. So, if I'm using this floppy image in DOSBox, does it require that I have a CD image mounted using DOSBox's imgmount command or a CD in my physical drive when I mount it using DOSBox's mount command? Because when I run 'boot -l a' after mounting this floppy image, I get:
Error: No CD-ROM drives detected at all.
Error: Device driver aborts loading.
and then the process just refuses to do anything else.
Windows 3.x was the first to gain significant development and commercial traction. It combined the 8086, 286, and 386 modes of Windows 2 in to one package. It replaced the MSDOS Executive with a Program Manager and File Manager similar to those in OS/2 1.x. Much of its success was spurred by the availability and success of Microsoft Office. Although Microsoft would have had you believe otherwise, Windows 3.x was the direct foundation for Chicago/Windows 95.

Windows 3.11 Download For Dosbox
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 adds a 386-protected mode networking stack. It includes support for NetBUI and IPX protocols, numerous network cards, a client for accessing remote printers and files shares, and a print and file server. TCP/IP is available as a seperate add-on. The use of protected mode networking software frees up more of the conventional 640k for DOS programs, and simplifies configuration.
Windows 3.11a was a minor change released specifically to address a lawsuit over Stacker. Microsoft pulled compression functionality from a number of unrelated products including Windows for Workgroups, Excel, Powerpoint, Windows NT, Visual C++, and Fortran Powerstation.

The only difference between 3.11 for Workgoups and 3.11a for Workgroups is the REMOVAL of compression code in the Remote Access Server (RASMAC.38_ / RASMAC.386). More information can be found in Infoworld, March 7 1994.
