 VB4 16-bit programs on Win 3.1?

I am under the impression that a 16-bit VB4 program should run under Win
3.1 - is this correct?

I have written a test app in 16-bit VB4 using only std VB4 controls, on
Win95, and created setup disks.  But the setup program causes a GPF when
run on a Win3.1 machine, once through the bootstrap section.  Is there
something I don't know?

Thanks :)

The catch is that a setup program created on Win95 won't run on Windows 3.1.

Someone answered this question long ago, and I placed the answer

This is a NO NO
Setup Wizard takes Files like Ver.dll among others from your windows directory
which if you created it under Win95 is the WRONG version to be installing on a
Win 3.1 Machine and can cause MAJOR Havoc for the Win3.1 User
If you wish to make a setup file for Win3.1 then You need to do So from Win3.1
I for one when I installed Win95 Made my machine into A DUAL boot system
where I can upon boot up Choose Either Win95/dos 4.00.95.00 or WFWG
and dos 6.22 this enables me to work in which ever environment and create a setup disk
in the appropriate Environment. The only Drawback to this is that it takes up MAJOR
Disk Real Estate. My WFWG was already 100 megs.
