UPD: As i remember it not have proper Windows 9x exe. But check Install folder anyway for them exe and links files (as normal* Win9x user you must know that links is not only lnk files)
UPD2: For official old DEMO labeled as DOS+Win95 there is no separate win executable. Readme say run fragile.exe for DOS and win95.pif for Win95. Im not sure now how it be in full CD release and in current GOG\Steam.
UPD3: Check config ini file for 2 "path" strings and "installation=maximum". use "=./" path. Sometimes for some game for unknows reason Windows do not read that path from configs. Put full path. Or use bat-file\pif-link with path (Windows bug - it not reconsize ./ in config but recognize it if start game not from exe but from up-level folder bat file with still not full paths).

Not first time here on GOG (and more outside) when someone try posing him as *oldfan*. Start thread about Win9x and still want to be one-click user. Windows 9x is too old for topic starter.
There is no problem in running dosbox games without dosbox in Windows 98 SE2. Some game even came with cue+bin disk image. Anyway it just about proper installation and settings for game (and for OS ofc). There is no DRM - TS show us that he is another GOG-forum troll (or lamer jerk) with that his words. There is no feature in DosBox that allow "crack" games - just proper mounting files and disk image if needed.
That be fat trolling (even if TS not want to be like that) creating that topic and wine about DRM. But i saw that stupidy some time here and know that they really are... But it mostly happened from Linux (lamo posers) users. Now it 2-3rd time i saw it from Win9x user... :facepalm:
We should blame GOG for lazines in providing Windows native versions (ofc if they exist).
And even if provide - eg for Heroes M&M 2 add Windows as separate build, but to reduce size it better combine them (although im not sure exactly for heroes 1\2 how it be in original and if supported that method... probably exe renaming required for one of the version)(heroes 1 is dos only in gog).
Also some game have windows exe in game folder but not mentioned it anything - eg X-com 2 TftD have xcom_patched.exe (by 2K exe initialy based on fan-made fixes). But X-com 1 only dos executable (for Steam 2K put both for both game and configure Steam to ask each launch wich version use - dosbox or windows 9x (patched still for Vista\7 and not supported in 8+ cause of very bad Windows after 7)).
