  There is ONLY version of ROOT for WIN32 subsystem. This means one 
can run one and the same set of the exe files and DLL's under both 
kind of system, namely under Windows 95 and Windows NT as well.

 On ROOT FTP/Web sites one can find two different references (NT and 
95 ) both lead to one and the same compressed file.

 No extra compiler like VC++ is required to run ROOT stand-alone but 
some VC++ DLLs should pre-installed. If your system complains about 
those you may find them on ROOT Web site to download too.

  I am curious whether the person did follow the instruction the 
ROOT Web site supplies. On which step he failed and what was the 
message he got. How he understood it is for NT not for 95.

  Hope this helps,
                            Valery
