I want to mention a blast from the past of my childhood, as our first computer was an Acer Power, which had Acer Computer Explorer (A.C.E.) (v1.2), with Windows 3.1.
I know how obscure this software is, and I do want to apologize for any old comments I’ve missed due to spam prevention on this website on an earlier post regarding a way to acquire it. The excellent news I wanted to share with my fellow Windows 3.1 Acer fans is I’ve uploaded it to Archive.org right here: https://archive.org/details/ace-setup
That’s pretty much it!

Wow! Thank you so much!! This was my family’s second PC, after an IBM 286 PS/2. I’ve been looking for this ACE Explorer for years wanting to relive the nostalgia. We upgraded our Acer Win3.1 with ACE to Win95 so lost the original. Thanks again for posting this, I can’t wait to spin up a VM and launch this.

Hey Dan, you’re totally welcome! I’ve been that same boat when I tried looking it up ages ago. I remember missing it when our machine was upgraded to Windows 98SE, I missed a lot of the old software from ours when I was little.
Enjoy! If you want the best experience, you can install Windows 3.1 in DOSBOX and have all the drivers for it!
