Prerequisites

 * MS-DOS already installed
 * Installed sound and CD-ROM drivers
 * 4MB RAM or more
 * Windows 3.1 Installation disks
 * Modular Windows SDK CD

Windows 3.1 Installation Process

 * Insert the first Windows 3.1 installation disk.
 * Set the directory to the A: drive and launch setup.
 * When in setup interface, press enter then choose custom installation.
 * Set the new installation directory to C:\MODWIN.
 * Wait a few minutes to copy files.
 * After booting up into the main Windows 3.1 installation interface, type your name and company.
 * Remove selection to install printers and detect pre installed apps from hard drive.
 * When prompted to select optional features, remove all selections.
 * Wait for few minutes to install Windows 3.1.
 * After that, you'll be prompted to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. DON'T LET SETUP MODIFY THOSE FILES.
 * Boot up the Windows interface from that installation, and then install sound drivers.
 * Exit that copy of Windows.

If you're lazy, you can copy your existing Windows installation and rename the folder to MODWIN. Then remove optional features via Windows Setup. Not sure about that.

Modular Windows SDK setup process

 * Boot up the main Windows installation.
 * Then insert the CD.
 * Run setup either by running via Program Manager's run command (CD:\setup.exe) or by opening File Manager, then install it by changing directory to CD:\.
 * The setup begins.
 * Let setup use the default Modular Windows directories.
 * Wait it to copy files.
 * After that, you must close Windows.
 * Change directory to the MODWIN directory.
 * Type new_vars, or copy those commands in that batch file to AUTOEXEC.BAT.
 * Restart computer.
 * Go to C:\MODWIN
 * Type WIN.
 * Tada! You are now in Modular Windows UI!
