How to install Windows 3.11

This is a video tutorial I made of how to install Windows 3.11. I know Vista's the newest one but apparently there still are some places that still use 3.11. I don't know why.

From what I can tell you're not typing it in the right drive. Do you know what drive you put windows 3.11 on? What version of DOS do you have? I installed this one onto DOS 6.22.

where can i get the windows 3.11 setup files to put onto disk

There isn't anywhere you can find it really. Some online stores seem to sell the disks because Bill Gates still wants the money even though nobody uses it anymore. I got them because my computer technician teacher let me copy the disks. But most people find it on ebay or limewire but you usually get about 200 trojan viruses with the lime wire ones.
