Windows 3.0 build 55 is the only leaked beta build of Windows 3.0. This is due to the fact that testers were under strict NDA, even so strict they were not allowed to say there even was a new version of Windows in development. It is unknown what stage this build is in.
It was leaked on BA by member The Distractor as a pre-installed folderdump. Attempts were made to recreate the installation disks, but the disks may not work properly in certain configurations. Best way to use this build is to install MS-DOS (any version from 3.31-6.22) and then copying the WINDOWS folder to the system partition. The system was configured with a Logitech mouse, which will not work in Virtual PC. This can be fixed by opening "SYSTEM.INI" and changing the line "mouse=lmouse.drv" to "mouse=mouse.drv", which will change the mouse to a generic Microsoft Serial Mouse/PS/2 compatible.
After the above change, the build will run fine in Virtual PC in Real and Standard Mode. 386 Enhanced mode only works using MS-DOS 3.x or PC-DOS 3.x.
