Windows 3.1 build 043e

Windows 3.1.043e is the official Beta 2 release of Windows 3.1. Until it was leaked on BetaArchive in February 2014, it was commonly believed to be a typo of build 3.1.034e which was already leaked.

This build is also mentioned in internal Microsoft e-mails from late August 1991. It is also mentioned in build 3.1.061d's README.

Another e-mail from late December 1991 discuss sending "WFP SDK 1.0 Alpha (Kanji version)" and "WIN3.1 Beta2 (Kj)" to IBM Japan. It is unclear whether Beta 2 refers to this build (suggesting there is a Japanese version of it as well) or some other build from Beta 2 stage.
