--- Comment #2 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello Florian,

this is by design.
You are probably on 64-bit host hence the WINEPREFIX will be created as 64-bit.
There lowest possible 64-bit Windows version is "Windows XP" so this
restriction is intended.
If your game requires Win9X mode you need to create a 32-bit WINEPREFIX where
all 'old' Windows versions are available.

This can be controlled by setting 'WINEARCH' environment variable to 'win32'
before creating the prefix (needs to be set only once - during initial
creation).

--- snip ---
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/some/path winecfg  (set windows version to
'Win95')
$ WINEPREFIX=/some/path wine ./setup.exe        (setup runs in 32-bit prefix)
--- snip ---

Regards
