win3.1 attempts :)
Hello.

Yes, I see that it does. However, using the os2k386 in place of dosx in the install files seems to cause dosemu to have some filesystem-related problems.
Just tried under pure DOS - the same problems. So I suspect it is the os2k386 that is buggy at that point.

least). Trying something before assuming that it doesn't work, can sometimes save some work:)
I do not see harm, nor stupidity, in at least attempting to understand how something works before making shots in the dark.
The harm is a waste of time only.
And btw, this was not a shot in the dark. As both that windows (3.1 and wfwg) are using a standard mode during the install, replacing the dosx.exe was the most obvious thing it seems.

Just look into "
Help->About" in a Program Manager to find out.To do that, one would need a working installation, which you have
Not any more. I just tried the installation under a real DOS (to see about the "filesystem problems"), and, as I am half asleep after work, I ocasionally deleted it instead of the directory created during that test install. I still have the win3.11 distro somewhere in the streammer tape, but there were the whole lot of the old goodies, winword6 with a bunch of my (and other's) old documents, and many other not very important but still interesting things. Now as this all is finally gone, I suddenly lost any interest in running windows under dosemu. I still have the 3.1 installed for testing, but without the winword and everything this is not funny any more...

Maybe obvious to someone who knew they are using standard mode during the install only. :P
I thought WFW3.11 had _no_ standard mode whatsoever.

Damn! Well, I suppose I'll get to be the one to look into this problem further.
