How to install Java 1.1 on 64-bit Windows

I downloaded Java 1.1 from Oracle Java Archive.

And I tried to install it on Windows 10 (64-bit) ... for research purposes.

However, it failed with the error below.

Unsupported 16-Bit Application

The program or feature "\??\C:\USERS\TEST\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\~EXB0000\setup.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.

But, Java 1.1 is a 32-bit application.
How can I install it?

You should install NTVDMx64. It has Win16 GUI support.

Java is a 32-bit application, but the setup launcher is a 16-bit application.
So, I installed it using ReactOS's InstallShield Engine 3.0 (32-bit application).

  1. Get the Java installer files.

    1. Execute jdk-1_1_8_010-windows-i586.exe
    2. When the error dialog is displayed, open C:\USERS\(User Name)\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\~EXB0000
      (Do not click the OK button at this time)
    3. Copy all files to another folder
    4. Click the ok button

  2. Download the tool and execute it.

    1. Download Is3Engine.zip (ReactOS's InstallSheild Engine 3.0)
    2. Extract Is3Engine.zip (containssetup32.exe)
    3. Move setup32.exe to the copied Java installers
    4. Execute setup32.exe

Java Deveopment Kit 1.1.8_01

Java 1.1 is now installed.

C:\> C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.1.8\bin\java.exe -version
java version "1.1.8"
