It might be worth trying it in Wine. It has great support for older software especially.

Within the past year I have compiled new software for Windows 98.

In a lab environment, it’s important to strictly control software versions and understand thoroughly what gets updated. We also want the ability to use the same version of software indefinitely if it meets our needs.
