    vpc2007 ?
    I previously installed w95, w98 wME in Virtual-PC (win7). Then I used 'integration components'
    for Win95 - vpc 2004,
    for w98 and wME - vpc2007.
    Try it should work.

    * I also used integration components from hypervisor-8.1 for winXP in hypervisor (10/11).

    I tried it many moons ago, can't remember why i went back to VPC 2007
    (i think i had issues with really old software :thinking: )
    Is the pace of that renderer slower with Virtual-PC?
    Same here (i just call them tools) :good3:

    I definitely don't remember. It's been a long time.
    The old computer (with Windows7) was rather slow and there were no problems.
    In 2020 I updated the computer and switched to Windows10 and VirtualBox. 9x works without problems.

    But I have a problem with the Win95c 30th Anniversary BootDisk.
    "Unsupported format".

    If version output from cmd, that's normal for OSR2.5

    If you accepted the "update" at the end (when you logon) where you actually install IE in OSR2.5, you should have the updated IE4.01 SP2
    Adding Plus!, extra themes and the new logo(s) that's all manually (those could have been embedded in the correct cab files but, meeh...)

    It,s based on the b9b87cfedec356574b737e533ec667f0e42988b0 *en_win95_19971201_oem_fpp_plus.iso

    I'll take a look in the evening.

    The second 3.5 floppy disk (
    Win9530thanniversarylogodisk.img) is not required. These same files are located on the disk in the Win95C_Plus_including_win95_30.iso:/other/30th folder. But they are 'system' and 'hidden'.

    I want to find a software, I forgot the specific name of the software, which can make a win9x boot CD, like a linux live CD, and boot into the 9x system in CD mode
    The software itself is a fool-proof operation. Insert the 9x installation file and click next all the way to complete it. I vaguely remember that it was a software produced by a company at that time, not made by an individual. If anyone remembers the software name, please tell me

    Win9x QuickInstall?
    Bootable CD Wizard (BCDW)?
    Boot CD Creator (SoftSea)?
    BartPE?
    Winternals ERD Commander?
