Win32s v1.30c with OLE

I downloaded these instructions by ftp from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu, directory /Web/Mosaic/Windown/v2.1.1/Win31x/Win32s. This directory also contains the file OLE32S13.EXE, that the instructions refer to, in case you have trouble downloading from the link I've provided below.

Only load Win32s into 16 bit windows systems (3.1x) DO NOT load Win32s if you are running NT or 95

We recommend all Microsoft Windows 3.1x and Windows for Workgroup 3.1x users upgrade to this latest version. If you are not sure which version of Win32s is installed on your system, the win32s.ini file in your /windows/system directory contains the version information. Version 1.30c is identified by the version number 1.30.172.

Installation and upgrading Win32s

  1. Download OLE32S13.EXE to a temporary directory. (e.g. c:\install). You can download it from this link or if you prefer, use the FTP address given above. You may be better off with the ftp site because I had to use WinZip to make it downloadable by web browsers. It is about 2.5MB regardless of whether you get the zipped or unzipped file.
  2. If you downloaded it from here, unzip it before proceeding
  3. Execute OLE32S13.EXE
  4. Close all windows applications
  5. From Program Manager's File menu select the "Run..." command.
  6. enter the path of the setup program. (e.g. c:\install\setup.exe)
  7. Follow the instructions from the installation program.
