Indeed. This particular version of Windows has never worked on v86.

Any more info on this? I get the following - is this what everyone else gets?
Did anyone get past this?

Setup cannot install MS-DOS 6.22 on your computer.

Your computer does not have a hard disk, your hard disk
is not functioning correctly, or your hard disk requires
a special device driver. Contact your computer vendor for
assistance.

Install it within qemu (make it a raw image format) and then boot the disk image within v86

You don't need to do that. head to allbootdisks.com and look for 6.22.img use a dos manual or use freedos

Just for the record, I installed MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 FWG on a Qemu machine. On a v86 machine, I used that disk image with all standard graphic drivers. No one worked. But XGA (640x480, 16 colors) made the second stage installation (the one where it is shown a GUI) to appear. Unfortunately the system ended up frozen. I've been unable to reproduce that behavior once again.

@Pixelsuft That works, pretty cool. Do you have small-ish (preferably less than 100MB) disk image to share?

For reference, @Pixelsuft's Windows 3.1 is configured like this:

It seems to be working fine modulo a popup after boot. edit and qbasic don't work due to a missing FPU instruction. I took the liberty of adding it as a profile: https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows31

As a tiny 30th birthday present.. The popup can be fixed by changing the startup to win -s or win /s. A well aimed

sed -i -e's/afe boot/        /' images/win31.img

should do the trick.

Standard Mode for WfW 3.1 and 3.11 (networking and some drivers are not working):

3.1: win /s
3.11: win /D:T (source)
