Here is a zip folder containing the disk images to create a set of MS-DOS 6.22 installation disks.This is a copy of 'Microsoft MS-DOS 6.22 Plus Enhanced Tools'.See the installation page on how to create the disks. (Note: All Software on this site are in zip folders - RAR files. Download WinRAR on the next page, and install it on your main PC, to extract them.

Good Windows for Workgroups 3.11 files. Create a folder to extract the 2 downloaded files into and they will automatically organize themselves into folders named disk1 through disk8.

Step 2
After reboot, start the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 setup program.
At the 'Network Setup', click on 'Networks...', then select 'Install Microsoft Windows Network' and 'OK'.

Enable the automatic DHCP configuration and define your default gateway (= IP address of router or computer sharing the Internet connection, usually 192.168.1.1).

Step 3
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is now installed with the proper network configuration! Copy the installation files of Internet Explorer 5.0 to your hard disk - through the network - or on a CD.
Start its installation by running setup.exe (use the file manager). Follow the instructions except for modem configuration (cancel that) and reboot when the program asks you.
Caution: Systems with more than 40 MB of RAM
The setup program wrongly reports you don't have enough memory. In that case, run SETUP.EXE /f:16
