I am trying to install Windows 95 on a 486 computer. Half way through the installation I get a message as follows:
ERROR SU995038
'Invalid Command Option specified. Please check the command line and try again, or type setup /? for help on the setup command option (OX13ae)'

And of course the installation fails at this point.

Any ideas on the nature of the problem and how it may be solved.

Unless you're actually specifying a command line switch, I don't know - possibly your machine is under the min specs(?) - the specs you have provided are not relevant to your situation (it's not helpful to know that you're running Xp or have a P3).

Try to posting your question in the appropriate forum - in this case, Windows95/98.

Wouldn't hurt to respond to replies made to previous questions before posting new ones.


I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime

Is it possible that you are not doing a clean install after formatting the hard drive?Try formatting first.Read above and try the setup with no parameters.Which version of Win 95?Good luck.
