This is the setup program for Windows 2.03, it is completely different from the Windows 2.01 setup program.
We'll pick hard drive.
Windows 2.01 had directory named WIN386, 2.03 has WINDOWS.
Checking if everything is correct and enter! (I've taken less screenshots because the setup is basically the exact same on all Windows 2.x versions.)
Now it is copying files to the windows directory, im gonna show the end of the setup, because i've learned my lesson to not show every single time a person needs to eject a disk and put another one, because that waste peoples time.
We can just continue by not reading the readme file.
And now the Windows 2.03 Setup installation has completed!
Look at that bootscreen! (Image taken from WinWorldPC)
Its seem I have forgotten to take a screenshot of the Windows 2.03 Desktop, ah whatever, its still the same as every single Windows 2.x version. Here is the cardfile.
Microsoft Write program works very well.
Didn't know what to do, so I opened up multiple MS-DOS executive's.
The about box shows that it is indeed Version 2.03.
