People of a certain age may remember installing Windows 95. (I'd forgotten, honestly.) Microsoft allowed upgrades from DOS and Windows 3.1, but they didn't want a text-mode installer for their shiny new GUI-based operating system. So what did they do? They made a three-stage installer!
DOS users had a tiny copy of Windows 3.1 temporarily installed. Then, them and Windows 3.1 users had a tiny copy of Windows 95 installed. Finally, most of the setup ran in Windows 95. Microsoft's Raymond Chen explains this clever design in detail.
