Could not locate selected package files on Windows NT 3.1
Starting with Windows NT 3.5, downloading Yori packages works without any problems.
If this error cannot be fixed somehow at the HTTP client level in Windows NT 3.1, maybe you could offer to install local packages in the installer? Otherwise, I will first need to download packages for Windows NT 3.5 and higher, and then copy the already installed copy of Yori to Windows NT 3.1.
BTW: sdir cannot work with LFN, even if it is supported by the system, since two partitions were formatted in NTFS before installing Windows NT 3.1.
Sorry for the delayed response. I tried with NT 3.1 and it worked for me successfully.
When using NT 3.5, were you using WinInet (from IE3), or Yori’s built in HTTP engine?
My guess is this will be because NT 3.1 isn’t configured with an explicit DNS server, noting that it doesn’t have DHCP so it needs to be configured with an explicit IP and DNS to work correctly.
I don’t understand the comment about sdir. Sdir supports LFN all the time (that’s the normal thing it does.) The challenge with Yori has been supporting file systems that are strictly 8.3, since by default NT 3.5 will support long file names on FAT, so working with short names only is an NT 3.1 specific case. I’ve tried to handle this whenever issues arise, but sdir has no special logic here. The installer is much more fussy since it typically allocates temporary files that can exceed 8.3 and needs special logic for FAT on NT 3.1.

To be honest, I don't know, but I downloaded it from the official website.
