Since I had installed Windows 3.11, I decided I would as well install Office 4, for old times' sake. I've got the installation disks in .ima files, so I mounted Disk 1 as a image. I opened DOSBox and ran setup. Everything went well until I was asked to insert Disk 2: I tried to rename the mounted .ima file so I would rename the second disk's image in it's place and use Ctrl+F4, but Windows didn't allow me to rename the first image because DOSBox had locked the file 😢
I tried using a unlocking program on the file, but then DOSBox couldn't any image anymore unless I restarted it...
Attempt #2: I decided to try copying the files of all the disks (not the .ima files, but the files within the disk images) into a folder, mounting the folder as CD-ROM drive, and running Setup again. But then I started to get the message: "Setup tried to create an invalid path using EXCEL.E1_", and the installation program would fail (and no, EXCEL.E1_ isn't corrupted, since it works when I run the installation program from the .ima file) 😒
Attempt #3: I mounted a folder as a floppy drive, and copied just the contents of Disk 1 into it. The plan was that when I would be asked to insert the next disk, I would erase the files inside the mounted folder, replace them with the files of the next disk, and use Ctrl+F4. BUT, then Windows 3.11 couldn't detect the virtual floppy 😵
And yes, I'm sure I mounted it properly, since I had previously mounted other floppies the same way, and they all worked perfectly.
So, um, is there any possible way to install Microsoft Office 4..?
