nice but now to download it?
Glitchy graphics. (2018-09-09 04:02) Mario
It has a bunch of garbled icons on the top and the mouse cursor is a black box, but otherwise works fine. I've seen this in DOSBox SVN already and I just tested on the latest version, DOSBox 0.74-2, with the same results.
Question(s) on a Windows 95 Image Instance (2013-02-07 11:44) zodoz
Hey,

So if I want to run a Win95 instance in Dosbox, and from there install and run a windows 95 program, do I need to add the files to the Image? Is the image dynamic once I am in Windows 95? Can it's size be expanded by a program w/in the Dosbox win95?

Thanks. Little confused.

Just noticed after I posted that the character "" or "slash" was omitted from my previous post, most likely if you read c:95 I meant c:"slash"95
Win95 within DosBox tips (2013-02-07 11:37) zodoz
I found a Video on YouTube that I will write up steps here:

Assumptions:
a} You will be using a HDD
b} You have a Windows 95 img file
c} You are using Dosbox 0.74
d} You know enough to be looking here in the first place

Per Video:

1) Create a new folder and name it something like “95”
2) copy image file to that folder {in this case, c:95 now has W95.img in it}
3) mount the 95 folder in Dosbox {in this case, mount C c:95}
4) change dir to c {I.t.c., type C:}
5) mount image in DosBox {I.t.c., imgmount A: C:W95.img}
6) Boot Win95 from that A: drive {I.t.c., boot W95.img}

When you run the .conf file, Dosbox should open with a Windows 95 splash screen and then a mini-desktop w/in windows...I am fairly sure there are some options here that I have not yet found, like maybe doing all this from a flash drive, etc.
it's working... (2012-12-04 11:37) ThomAce
It's working correctly.

mount C: C:/dosbox
imgmount A: C:/W95.img
boot C:/w95.img
Doesn't work (2012-02-18 22:20) magiblot
Hi. I installed Windows 95 in a folder as in a HDD, without using any image. Next, I make a code where I mount the drives and I copy the AUTOEXEC.BAT code, then I start WIN. The "mode con codepage" and the "keyb sp,," don't work, but that's not the problem. After that, the screen becomes black and DOSbox start the VMM32 program, but then closes the windows. I use spanish version of the OSR 2.5 (Sorry for my bad english).
The next DOSbox version must have compatibility with Win9x MS-DOS code and options to set drives as FDD and CD-ROM.
I also have a problem with the SHIFT, if I must press 2 times the button to make it work.
486_slow | pentium_slow (2011-09-09 14:00) AlysSonLimE
COrrigindo erro
usar uma dessas duas opções:
486_slow | pentium_slow
Ambas são 486.

Sorry
486_slow | pentium_slow | 386_prefetch (2011-09-09 13:55) AlysSonLimE
se vc for instalar 95 / 98
use algum dos 486:
486_slow | pentium_slow | 386_prefetch
Ainda pode acontecer de dar erro, mas é muito menos do que usar 386.
Rodou perfeitamente (2011-09-09 13:45) AlysSonLimE
Para dar certo instalar e executar sem erros o windows 95 e 98, tem que usar "cputype 486_slow". Caso contrário dará uma série de erros de operação inválida devido a algumas instruções que o windows 95 e 98 executa não dar certo em 386.

Ta funcionando perfeito.
Só falta eu descobrir como conectar internet e tal.

:P
It sucks. (2011-05-04 02:32) ChrisTyler12345
Windows 95 would not let me use Internet Explorer on DOSBox.
Not Installing (2011-02-15 01:11) Husker
I had the same problem, and found that booting Win98 within DOSBox, and installing Win95 under that fixed the "compressed volume" error.

There is an excellent tutorial at http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=24936. Just use Win98 to boot instead of his suggested DOS 6.22.

I have it installed, and now have to get past the "not enough memory" error when booting the Win95 install.
Not installing (2011-02-04 17:20) tsampikos
I receive the same message with DOSBox 0.74. Is there any tutorial available?

How do you get past the: "Setup Found a compressed volume or disk-cashe utility on your computer." Error. I suspect it's just something i've forgotten to set
Solution - Problems with DOS Version (2009-12-23 18:16) are16ocean
Hi. If you have problems running Windows 95 because it doesn't recognize DOS 7.0 version or previous. For solve this problem, you should type in DOSBox:
ver set 8.0
To set DOS 8.0 Version instead of DOS 5.0 Version.

Sorry for my bad english ;( Spanish
Does not Load (2008-05-20 14:29) phildaman46
Gives a unknown error at the end of installation. Running win.com to load Windows gives a "Can not load under MS-Dos." type message.
Explanation (2007-07-11 16:50) Tedium
After setting up the blank HDD and the HDD with WINdows 95 Setup, I restarted DOSBox, mounted my "normal directory" and:

imgmount 0 BOOT_DISK -t floppy -fs none
imgmount 2 DEST_HDD -size SIZE -fs none
imgmount 3 INST_HDD -size SIZE -fs none
boot -l a
d:
setup

This worked fine for installing. It failed on boot with something like:
Exit to error: DynCore: invalid option in opcode 0xff...
It Runs... (2007-07-11 16:27) Tedium
(Dosbox 0.70) You don't need to install DOS 6.x. I used a Windows 98 boot disk image to start the setup process. If you boot from the boot disk and don't mount the HDD images' filesystems, you don't need /is (Scandisk worked fine for me). As a note: using the dynamic core, it always crashed on boot; using the full core, I got an Invalid Page Fault on running nearly anything; using the simple core, everything's worked fine.
IT RUN!!! on dosbox 0.70 (2007-03-03 05:23) kitor
First you must make a hdd image by bximage on bochs. All is writen on DOSBox documentation. Next tou must install dos 6.x on it. Mount drive image by imgmount and boot from dos 6.x bootable diskiette image. Run FDISK and make partition on hard drive.
Now re-run dosbox.
Mount image as c: and cd with win95 setup files as d:. Mkdir c:\win95 and copy d:\*.* c:\win95\*.*.
Now boot from hard drive. Then type cd win95 and type setup /is.

To restart virtual computer you must shutdown DOSBox
and run it.

Sorry about my badly english, I;m from poland
