You didn't specify if you are planning on running it on a network. If so, you should install Win95 and then PO7 for Win95. PO7 (non-Win95) is not certified to run under Win95 (and, I believe, does not) and PO7 for Win95 will certainly not run under Win 3.1.

Most importantly, PO7 for Win95, available for trial from Oracle's Web site and on the trial CD from Oracle, comes with the new SQL*Net Easy Configuration utility and the Oracle Navigator. And, finally, PO7 for Win95 is Oracle7 release 7.2, whereas for Win 3.1 the version is release 7.1.
