After spending way too much time on these shenanigans, I've come to the conclusion that it's much quicker, easier, and more successful to install Windows 3.1 on MS-DOS 6.22 than it is to install it on FreeDOS 1.4.

Even after trying every fix I could find (short of learning how to install a dev system specifically for rebuilding a DOS kernel from source, toggling a single option I don't understand), Windows refuses to start because it can't find a file that neither it nor FreeDOS installed.

I let that "panic now, pay later" offer expire, and nothing happened. On reloading the page, it reset to three days but left all the other information, including the supposedly limited-time price, the same.

Also, amusingly not helping their image, each split-flap digit animation in the countdown timer is flipping up, not down like real split-flap displays.

If their DVD didn't come free with ~~cereal~~ my new cheap DVD drive, I would swear CyberLink was either a scam or hocking some really slick spyware.

The OEM disc says it's "CyberLink Media Suite," the installer says it's version 16, the few programs it wants to install are at least 2 versions behind what the website says 16 has, & the website gives radically different upgrade prices for the same product depending on which search engine result is followed.

You have OneDrive.
