4.00.189
Kernel version	Windows 9x (4.00)
CPU architecture	x86
Edition	N/A
BIOS date	22nd September 1994
TCB	Beta ID: 101907 Password: 999b70c9e

Windows 95 build 189 is the Beta 1.4 and the earliest leaked build to call itself "Windows 95" instead of "Microsoft Chicago" (though there are still many Chicago references left). It was compiled on the 21st of September 1994. Just like builds 116 and 122, it is visually almost complete and mostly resembles the final product.

The Release Notes (README.TXT) from this build also mentions several older builds, namely build 122, 165, 166 and 170.

Installation

Installing from Windows 95 boot floppy:

Prepare disk with fdisk, reboot, then format (format C:).
Change path to the CD-ROM and go to the RETAIL directory.
Run setup.
Accept the default settings, fill in required information and then continue to the file copying process. You may also customize the features to be installed.
When complete, remove floppy and reboot.
