Best Answer: Windows 95 is missing a bunch of newer dll files.
It's just a matter of searching for the missing dll file on the internet and installing it in the c:\windows\system32 folder.

Re:guy,
Thanks for the response. I checked out the thread and some of the links and may have found an answer here on trying to install from the Win95 Companion disk:

Once I read the word companion, my feeble mind recalled seeing this thread. Hope this sheds light on your current situation. If you're really stuck, you can buy the OS for $25:

Re:Actually, now that I look at the CD again more closely, I notice that along with there being no setup.exe file, I also do not have Win95_01.cab file in the Win95 subdirectory. I only have Win95.cabs from 2-28 plus two other cabs called mini.cab and precopy1.cab and precopy2.cab.
So can I install at all from the files on the Win95 companion disk or is it just for finding any missing files in cabs 2-28?

Re:Thanks for all the information Jeff,
I think I have the same CD as you, it too is identified by Win Explorer as W95_full_ar, but I can not find a setup.exe anywhere on either the root dir or the Win95 subdirectory.
I am not sure if it is an OEM CD. It states on the disk that it is for distribution only with a new pc (which fits since my friend received it with his new PC).
But I just do not find the setup.exe file in either the root or win95 directories.
Help!

Re:The companion disk IS NOT the W95B install disk. It is exactly what it says it is: a companion disk. You'll have to ask the person who gave you the disk if he has the W95B disk.

Re:guy, I'm looking at my Win95B (the one w/ USB support) CD right now, via Windows Explorer, and I find a setup.exe file in the root directory of the CD, along w/ a setup.exe file in the win95 folder on the disc.
How is your CD identified by Windows Explorer? FWIW mine is win95_full-ar. The files Setup25i.exe and Setup32.exe are for install of AOL. cs3kit.exe is for CompuServe, and wowkit.exe is for a short-lived experiment by CompuServe called Wow.
My CD is an OEM, meaning that it's looking to be fresh installed. Simply copy the win95 folder to your hard drive and execute the setup.exe from within that folder. If your disc is an upgrade (and I don't think MS made such an upgrade disc), then it will look for proof of a previous installation. If that's the case, simply copy any small file (such as a text file) to a floppy and rename the file win.cn_. When the install asks for the proof, point it to the floppy.
