CAUSE

Publisher for Windows 95, version 3.0, can only be installed and run on a computer that has an Intel 80386 or higher (or compatible) microprocessor.

Publisher for Windows 95 is designed to run only on Intel i386 processors and higher. Windows NT is designed for the Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC and Intel microprocessors. Windows NT emulates the 16 bit Windows environment by emulating an Intel 286 processor. Programs designed for this environment can run under Windows NT on any platform. Publisher for Windows 95 is a 32 bit program and as such it cannot be run under the i286 emulator.
