Win95 OSR2 Lite

Bugs reports


INTRODUCTION
A few people're asking for a 95Lite, to install Windows 95 without Internet Explorer. This is a quitte simple prosses I discovered years ago, and tweaked over time. I hope to write a proggy soon to smoothen things, but for now here is the manual solution. for OSR2 (and OSR 2.1).

HOW TO ?
The prosses is not really difficult. I'll describe it so you can do it by yourself .

Copy the folder \Win95\ from your Windows 95 CD to your HD. (You don't need sub-folders)

If a file named Setuppp.inf is not present, extract it from Precopy2.cab, and keep it in the same folder ( you can use the powerToy CabView, WinZip 7.0, ...).

If this file was on the CD, it's Read Only, so revert it to normal state (Context menu of the file, Properties, uncheck Read Only).

Edit this file with any text editor, find the string "ohare.inf" and replace with ";hare.inf". Find the string "msinfo.inf" and replace with ";sinfo.inf". Find the string "mos.inf" and replace with ";os.inf". Find the string "athena.inf" and replace with ";thena.inf". Now save the file; the size should not be changed (this seems to be important with US versions).

Now setup Windows from this directory

Here are the the involved files, they should be present in your CD, if not extract Appletpp.inf and Layout.inf, keep them beside your CAB files and patch them according to your needs...

Files involved

 
ATHENA.INF Installs Microsoft Mail and News
MOS.INF Microsoft Network & on-line registration.
MSINFO.INF On line services.
OHARE.INF Installs IE 3 browser
SETUPPP.INF Calls the above files, can be modified to remove the calls...
LAYOUT.INF It seems that US Version needs to have the length of modified files changed in Layout.inf

I hope soon to release a proggy to automate this...
