How can I run my Warcraft 2 CD on a Win 11 PC?

Hi,

I have an original CD of Warcraft II (bought as part of a box set: I, II, PtDP in 1998), but I cannot run it anymore. At the properties, I checked in Win 95 compatible mode, and run as admin mode, but I always get an error message: "This app can't run on your PC".

I tried DOSBox as well, but both setup.exe and install.exe crash, and I get back to the command prompt. The only file I could run from DOSBox, was uvconfig.exe, but it did not help.

Does anyone have any idea what should I try?

Thanks!
