DOS4WIN64 is not intended to run on old PCs. I just try to keep packages small to allow for fast downloads and fast program loads.
There is a lot of DOS software that will not run on Windows 7 or 8 in 64bit mode. To allow DOS applications to be used on these systems they can be bundled with DOS4WIN64 and started from the disk like any other application on a Windows 7 or 8 system. No need to install DOSBOX or VMWare first. Or to burn a Live CD and boot from that. Just copy the DOS4WIN64 archive files into a directory and start the batch file to run DOS and the DOS application from there. So if you made software for DOS you do not want to abandon you could make a Win8 version with DOS4WIN64. You could also make a version of this package for Linux and OS X thus making the DOS application "cross platform" ;-) Using Linux you can even run your application on Non-Intel processors. I got DOS working on my Android Tablet with ARM processor this way. Plugged in a USB keyboard for that.
