Installer console log in 32-bit prefix

Executing either autorun.exe or setup.exe makes wine crash instantly. If trying
to run Golf2.exe directly from the CD a popup shows stating I need at least
16MB of RAM, which might be related to this
https://www.zeus-software.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=584.

I've tested with both 64 and 32bit prefixes in windows versions 95, 98, 2000,
XP, 7, 8, 10 with the same results.

I've tested the CD on a windows XP VM and it installs and runs as expected
there so there is no issue with the media itself.

If more logs are needed I'll happily provide them, just let me know.

The linked forum post mentions the use of GlobalMemoryStatus.
Therefore, how much RAM did you assign to this windows XP VM for your test?
Was it less than 2 GB?
Does it also show this error message if you give it more than 2 or 4 GB ?
If yes, then I guess wine works as expected.

However, the forum posts sounds like reporting some low value could
possibly make it work.
Following commands create a fake meminfo, forcefully close all wine programs,
and the third would start wine using that fake meminfo file.
(Installing of the package bubblewrap might be needed before.)
```
echo -e "MemTotal: 32768 kB\nMemFree: 32768 kB\nSwapTotal: 32768 kB\nSwapFree:
32768 kB\nBuffers: 0\nCached: 0" > my-meminfo.txt
wineserver -k
bwrap --dev-bind / / --dev-bind my-meminfo.txt /proc/meminfo wine Golf2.exe
```

But I guess that is not helping the setup.exe crash.

Seems like bubblewrap was part of the distro so no additional install needed :)

I tried the fake meminfo file on Golf2.exe and it changed the error-popup to:
```
Not Installed Correctly
Please install from the Actua Golf 2 CD-ROM to your hard drive
```
followed by an OK-button.

The Windows XP VM I tested with earlier has 4GB of RAM assigned.

And you guessed correctly, testing the setup.exe-file with the fake meminfo
does not change the behaviour.

Thanks for taking the time to write the bubblewrap-stuff, that might help me in
the future :)
