OK, thanks.

I just checked the MS site (for the runtime files), and Windows 98 is listed, but Windows 95 not (obviously, since it is no longer officially supported).

No hardware requirements are listed; I have the impression that the runtime files are considered an extension of the OS.

Especially when users may be running Outlook/Groupwise, Excel, etc. (Since most users have those apps open at the same time).
