This makes for instance InstallShield, that uses DOS3CALLs to check for win95, report a Bad Windows Version. (Installer of Monkey Island 3)
Reference wine-devel post is: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2001/07/0085.html
If there is a testprogram, I can still boot Windows 95...
Ciao, Marcus
Changelog: revert 16bit win95 version back to original value. Fixes InstallShield installer version check.
Your changelog is incorrect.. That is actually the DOS version you are changing, not the Windows version.
Furthermore, here is a patch to go along with this that implements Win95OSR2 version. I have had this in my tree for MONTHS but never submitted it.
This is REQURIED for some programs because the DOS for OSR2 is 7.1 and the DOS for Win95 Gold (MSes term for the original relase) is 7.0. I think I added it specifically so I could run COMMAND.COM (well, at least get past incorrect DOS version). This goes true for all of the DOS utils from 95OSR2.
Honestly, Win95OSR2 should have been called Windows 96 and released as an actual product, it is completely different from original win95 in many core areas (But not in any UI ways, hence MSes logic of well, nobody will notice the difference by looking at it, better keep it as the same product).
Changelog: Add Windows 95 OSR2 version info

P.S. Sorry about the extra .txt extension, seems that Balsa uses it to determine whether the file is application/octet-stream or text/plain and I wanted it to be text/plain (will figure this out later).
