Windows 97 (version 3.5 stable) 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.
Changes from Windows 3.1
Changes in pre-desktop procedures
- The setup has been completely replaced with a custom one
- New setup graphics. The setup background is the Windows 95 setup
- New boot graphics. The boot screen is changed to a Windows 95 style one. It is static due to technical limitations
Look and feel
- New default theme, and wallpaper. The default wallpaper is set to the Windows 95 setup, with the author's branding added and a copyright disclaimer on the top right
- The shell is replaced with Calmira, a Delphi-based Windows 95-like shell
- The window buttons have now been themed to Windows 95
