Three prototypes of Solitaire have been found in prototypes builds of Windows 3.0. Both are from very late in the game's development and have very few differences except for the April 1989 prototype.

January 1990

The only known difference between the January 1990 prototype and the final version is the wording of a few error messages. No other differences are known.

Final	Out of memory

Prototype	Can't load Windows Help application
Final	Unable load Windows Help application

Prototype	Unable to load bitmap, use green background?
Final	Unable to load bitmap; do you want to use a green background?

Prototype	Not enough memory for bitmap dragging
Final	Insufficient memory to display card faces when cards move; select the Outline dragging box from the Options menu.

February 1990

This build is nearly identical to the final, only 3 bytes differ.
