--- Comment #6 from Serentty noname422@gmail.com --- I don't get why this was closed. I understand that compatibility with such old Windows programs is not a priority for the Wine project, but given that Wine ostensibly offers some very minimal support for such programs (after all, those version of Windows are allowed to be set in Wine's configuration), one would expect Wine to at least try to run these executables, even if it fails, and that a bug preventing Wine from even trying to run them would at least be something to look at. Also, the comment that these programs will not work on modern versions of Windows is not entirely true. Some programs meant for Windows 1.01 will still run on the 32-bit version of Windows 10, at a significant number of programs meant for Windows 2.0 will. I get that this is not as glamorous as getting the latest DirectX 12 games working, but Wine is in many cases the best way to run 16-bit software for Windows on a modern operating system.
