MS-DOS 6.22 build 2260 is a pre-release build of MS-DOS 6.22. It was leaked in May 1994 by the warez group PHOENIX. This build was shared again on 24 June 2024.

File dates are already set to 31 May 1994 even though the group released it on the 25 May, suggesting this might be a release candidate build, where Microsoft often already doctored file dates like in the final release. Another possibility is that this build became the final release after testing.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

DEFRAG.EXE and MSBACKUP.OVL are corrupt in PHOENIX's release. However, setup can continue without these files.
