SUMMARY
None of the Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) 1.0 components that come
on the Windows NT 4.0 Server Enterprise Edition installation CD will
install and run directly on a computer running Windows 3.x.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows 3.x users and applications can access an MSMQ network through one
of several interfaces offered. For example, with the Exchange Connector
installed, a Windows 3.x user can use the 16-bit Exchange Client to send
e-mail to an MSMQ application. For application-to-application
communication, you can write a custom MSMQ Connector application that
communicates directly with a custom Windows 3.x application, then translate
the requests into MSMQ messages.
NOTE: Writing an MSMQ Connector is not a trivial task, and should be
undertaken only if the other interfaces described in this article are not
appropriate.
Another way users can access an MSMQ network is through a Web page on an
Internet Information Server (IIS) WWW server. For example, the MSMQ ActiveX
model is accessible by VBScript, which can be used to translate remote
user requests into MSMQ messages on the server.
Microsoft is considering adding Windows 3.x support for a future release of
MSMQ Server.
