[Coco] Windows 95 help

[Bill Barnes]

I *think* if one looked hard enough, they might even find a normal-install ISO of Win95. (I can't guarantee that the upgrade key will work with a full version installer.)

I can't say for certain either if it marks the original media either. I would't want it to though, ya know, just in case of disk corruption or failure and a reinstall. ONE way to bypass the disk check, is to install it first, and worry about cleaning up the install mess afterward.

Windows 3.1 should be a qualifying product, however.....

As I remember, the Win95 install writes to the qualifying disc so that it can only be done once. I do not remember just what is written, though. Disk images for an unadulterated copy of windows 3.1 install disks may be available on the net.
