Installing Windows95 OEM SR2 over an existing version of Windows

Currently, you cannot install the new OEM version of Windows95 over and existing version of Windows (3.x or 95).

In order to get around this problem, simply rename any WIN.COM file on your hard drive and install normally.
This will let you keep you current Windows settings.

It will make things easier if the location of your new version is the same as your old one.

Note: You will not be able to convert to FAT32 using this procedure. For that you need to FDISK your hard drive.
