If you get the updated version, It will look for win 3.1. If you get the full
version, It installs with out a flaw.

BTW..Win 98 is the same way. I have a upgrade ver. When it looks for a previous
ver. I place the win 3.22 disks in the floppy drive and let it rip.


The trick with Windows 95 on floppies is that you will have had to make your
'backup' copies BEFORE installing it for the first time. Silly buggers
designed those disks so that the first install disk is altered during the
install so that it can't be reused except on the original machine it was
installed on. Mind you, there may have been some industrious hacker that
has figured another way around that by now...

Sorry, but I have to contradict you on that. I have a set of Win95
disks I have installed on three different computers and have never
observed the situation you mention. Perhaps there were different
versions issued by Microsoft?

Your advice about making duplicates is still good, however.
