installing a program from Windows 3.1

Packer, you will need the original instalation disks and you will also need to check with the company that wrote the program to see if it will run under Windows 98.

Packer,

If the Disks have an install on them, go to the Dos Prompt and install from the A: drive. If they do not have an install file, make a directory at the dos c:\ prompt called Choice. Then copy all the files from each disk to that directory.

I know First Choice will work. I just helped a friend get her First Choice Program on her computer. In her case we had to copy all the files to the Choice directory. Then we put a shortcut of the program command which is First.exe on the desktop. Many older programs like this do run in Windows 98 just fine.

Hope this helps Joan

Joan,
Thanks for all your help!! I don't know if the desks have install on them or not. I was just going to copy the .exe files from the old computer onto a floppy.
I don't have the original install discs.I really need step by step help I'm afraid.How do I create a new directory at the dos c:\prompt?? How do I get that prompt?? Will this be more of a hassle than it's worth??? Thanks again!! Packer

I don't have the original installation disks for my old relic, it was bought second hand. Will this make a difference??

Packer,

You will need all the files in the directory of your old computer. It can be tedious but not impossible. Just coping the .exe files won't do it though. Hang on and let me check with my friend as to how many files and bytes are in her directory. I will get back to you.

Oh, I can show you how to get to dos.....make directory and copy files.

Joan

Packer,
