Here is the preview of Windows 3.1 20th Anniversary Setup. However it's not complete yet, the only missing is supplemental kits (MS-DOS 6.22). What do you think?
Boot CD menu
After pressing 1 key, it will boot MS-DOS and show this menu
DOS-LOGO.SYS Boot screen, however it's not animated, how to make animated rle?
Based of the MS-DOS 7.10 setup batch, however I have changed slightly.
Same like MS-DOS 7.10 setup.
After set up partitioning, this is the message where to copy Windows GUI Setup
GUI portion of Setup, using Inno Setup 1.2 and Mini Windows thanks to ideeman1994 about this idea!
Installing Windows 3.1 20th Anniversary
After GUI portion, you have prompted with supplemental kit installation. However, I need to fix "Invalid directory or directory not empty".
MS-DOS 6.22 Supplemental Kit installation, however at the time I have to fix that supplemental kit will not installed
Installation finished
On the DOS, just add Vide-CDD and custom messages, but I have to fix some errors
Starting Windows, however it freezes here and...
Unsupported data configuration! I don't like this. This is not affected in original VHD

Well I need to make defaults for Windows 3.1 20th Anniversary installation:
1. The graphics is now VGA for use of all virtualization software and this will enable Windows 95 icon style. Virtual PC users can enable S3 Trio driver via setup.
2. Fix MSCD001 error
3. Fix other errors about "Unsupported data configuration"

I tried executing Netscape Communicator 4.08 inside Windows For Workgroups 3.11 and Windows NT 3.1 and, without hardware virtualization turned on, it throws that general error, while being turned on, it does not happen.

It might be something else.
