Hi. I am trying to install Windows 98 under a VM. The Host OS is Windows XP. Whenever I run Setup, I get an error saying "Windows 98 cannot install on a computer with less than 16 MB RAM". I have allocated 192 MB of RAM to the VM. I also tried after installing FreeDOS, but it still wouldn't work. Also, Windows 95 gives the error "Error Loading PROGMAN.EXE" Help!
