Get KernelEx for 2000, along with KDW. (Look up KDW carefully before you fuck up the entire OS with it).

KernelEx will run XP+ applications as long as they don't do version checks.

Also, before this, make sure your installationis COMPLETELY updated, or prepare to spend hours upon hours updating just to get the IE6SP1 update that KernelEX needs to even run.

I'd suggest trying to find an .ISO of a fully-updated SP4 image and doing a fresh start if you're not fully updated.

So far I've got Firefox running with it (after manually extracting the files from the setup) + a few XP-only installers to work,

Are you saying that the best windows program besides wine is windows 2000, since it runs from little DOS programs to xp plus

how do I install kernelex on windows 3.1?

Kind of? It doesn't run anything non-supported AMAZINGLY, but KernelEx helps things at least have a chance to run.

That and 2000's DOS mode is all emulation IIRC, you'd want to be on ME or lower for true DOS.
