Hey,

I just found windows 1.0 somewhere on the internet, and I wanted to try and install it on a VMWare virtual machine.
I set the OS to be MS-DOS, booted with a win98 bootflop, formatted HDD,
next insert disk1 of windows 1.0, followed instrctions, set to united kingdom keyboard, no mouse, and IBM compatible graphics.
Next it tells me to boot windows with the win command, so I type win.

Then the BAD things happen, the PC starts beeping like mad, and I get a blue screen with white crap on it, and somewhat looking like MICROSOFT in ascii art....

Did anyone ever try this? and did anyone ever succeed?
Thanks, TB

EDIT: Screenie attached

lol ive got the disks here ill try it for you ill edit my post when ive done it

edit:
blah only got 3.1 but im going to try that anyway

Here you go....

thanks just installing Dos  6.22 now then ill install win 1

edit:
first install went weird like a dos window with all strange colors and i couldnt do anything but im reinstalling windows 1.0 again just to make sure i didnt mess any of the settings up.

ok on the 2nd install i got the same screen as you TB then more lines of white ascii then a blue screen that just stayed there.

edit #2

on 3rd install lol (someone wanted screen shots and i forgot to take them)
i got the microsoft in white thing then after that flicked past it went to



then it went to the blue screen it had gone to before but there was one differnce there was a little icon in the corner



ahwell i dont think ill get it to install (unless the icon thingo means i did it and needed to press a certain key or something)

Didnt get windows1.0 to work (yet), but I did get Windows 2.03 to work

i also tried installing windows 1.0 but got lots of errors and stuff when starting the install disc so i gave up. call you tell where i can get windows 2.03 or can u attach it here please

Where can you download these windows versions?

Lots of places...
I found em trough DirectConnect++
