Good day,
I have not used wine for a while, but just notices version 2.4 (Staging) has no windows98 or 95. I am using a very old program and the only compatibility I had was using version of windows95.
What should I do? downgrade to a prior version, if so, where can I get it?
Thanks.

Re: wine 2.4 No Windows95 compatibility?
The problem is that you created a 64 bit prefix, but the first Windows version supporting 64 bit is XP/Win 2003. In order to imitate older versions, you have to create a 32 bit only prefix:
Now you should be able to select Windows 95.
In order to start programs in this prefix, you will always need to use the environment variable WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-win95.
Code: Select all
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-win95 WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
In order to start programs in this prefix, you will always need to use the environment variable WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-win95.

How do I always use the environment variable WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-win95?
