This will be an application for VMWare-type technology, or a use for an
obselete computer.
I'll bet if you set up an old '486 with Win 95 or so, and nothing else,
you can get it to run. (You may even need Win 3.1?)
Win'98 might or might not work because of the various updates that
occurred. Your '98 machine has newer software that doesn't get replaced by
the old stuff on the CD.
Of course, you will want to keep that machine well away from the Web, as
no modern A-V or other security software would run on it.
With a free Beta of VMWare Werver, you could do all this on a Virtual
Machine, then save the whole install as a package that would play on
VMWare's <free> VMware Player.
The Player can be installed on modern machines, letting you run the
obselete machine configuration in its own obselete sandbox.
