You don't need a Win3.1 emulator for Windows/2000 or Windows/XP, they are 32-bit only
OS's and will run 3.1 programs out of the box.

(Notes there are a couple of offerings called XP 64-bit but they are actually modified
versions of Server 2003 which is a different code base to XP).

May be a crazy idea but worth a try.
First set up Win 2000 professional and find a Win 3.1 emulator that works
within it. Once that's solid and running on Win 2000 box transplant the physical
Win 2000 server to virtual. There are Win 2000 containers in VMWare and
VCloud Director type utilities that can be used, or you can do it at the command
prompt. I used this technique to set up an XP box into a cloud server that was
running VMWare where you were allowed to spin up boxes.

VM of Windows 2000 Professional running?
