requires microsoft plus! with theme support

Trying to run a really old CD which advertises system requirements Windows 95/98/NT.

The install shield wizard tries to run then gives message,

"Cheapskate! You can't use Totally MAD Desktop Theme unless you have installed Microsoft Plus! with desktop theme support."

Any solutions for new user? thanks

So what are you trying to do? Or should I say, what is this program supposed to do? Add some theming?

And I take it, this software doesn't work in winXP+?
Try setting windows version to win98 in winecfg.

tried everything from 95 to global settings. Would an older version of Wine know what to do?

Please get a relay log (

compress it, upload it somewhere, and post a link here.

Theme support is supposed to be working.
An old version of wine probably would not help.
What version of wine are you using?
