It released in March 2012 to {{Link\|url=https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24176\|name=BetaArchive}} (Windows 97 was already years old at that point), and was added to the archive on December 10, 2021. == Description == The bootleg is a modified Windows 3.1 ISO. ~~which~~It styles the OS with a Windows 95 theme and even includes some old customization programs to complete the look. The setup used is a completely custom one, using a specialized Windows 3.1 PE running a Delphi-based installer. You will boot into a startup menu which will allow you to either install the OS or boot from it like a live CD. The installation is done using a batch script which copies the "mini 3.1" to the C drive (assuming the user has already formatted it) and runs the setup. A boot floppy is required to install the OS. == Changes from Windows 3.1 == === Bootleg quirks === * The start menu banner's text is renamed to Windows 97. * You can launch the OS as a live CD from the startup menu. == Gallery == [[Category:Bootlegs originating from Europe]] [[Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 3.x]] [[Category:Partially lost bootlegs]] [[Category:Bootlegs]]
