I need Windows NT capability

[harrellsm]

I tried creating a new prefix but the closest I could get was to select Windows XP. My setup.exe kicks me out saying I need Windows NT4 or NT5 or even 98. I read some posts where the versions should go as low as 95 but winecfg on my system only goes to XP. TIA

Yours,

Windows versions prior to XP are only available in a 32 bit wineprefix.

Excellent! I'm getting close I think. I was able to create a 32bit prefix and select nt4.0 and when I execute WINEPREFIX=~.winntprefix all is good. And when I say wine ~/winntprefix I get a beautiful gui that looks like Windows NT and I can even navigate to the folder containing setup.exe. But when I double click it the set starts as expected but very quickly terminates with a message that it requires NT4.0 or NT50 or 95 or 98. I have made 32 bit prefixes for all of these OS's and none tell setup.exe what it want's to hear. Here are the contents from terminal if this helps and thank you for the help I really appreciate it.

It is available in the new wow64 setup.
Not sure if that wine-version is somewhere available to download from your distro.
Else, you could compile wine yourself with '--enable-archs=i386,x86_64' option.
