Windows 97 is a bootleg Windows 3.1 edition, which was created by Ideeman1994. It released in 2012, and was added to the archive on December 10, 2021.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows 3.1 ISO which 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. 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.

- New setup graphics. The setup background is the Windows 95 setup
