Failed to install Win95, reporting insufficient XMS

Actually the memory size I set was 32MB, on 430VX chipset.
This problem happened on rev190 to 193 dynamic recompiler build. I've tried OSR 2.1 and OSR 2.5.

it actually works, it's the "CombineVXD" in wininit.ini that got broken in these revs.

Is wininit.ini a text file?

Ok, time to fix my win98 install then upgrade to XP. (on 6G Virtual HDD)

Where is wininit.ini typically located?

Found wininit.exe and wininit.bak, but not wininit.ini.
98 is in the VM BTW.
