Installation Problem
|
|
| Ken Uzzell 2005-05-24, 8:55 pm |
| Hi,
A user reported the following message when trying to install my software. I
use MS P&DW.
-->8---
I get a "16bit Windows Subsystem" windows popup with following message.
c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. the system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application.
--->8---
Any ideas what I can tell him?
My software is a VB6 program not a DOS program.

I've heard of this before, but have never encountered it myself. I know
this issue has been brought up before. I suggest you search www.google.com.
You should be able to find a previous message with the answer. The only
thing I could find in MS's KB pertained to installation of Visual Studio
itself, but I would imagine the problem could very well be the same. So,
you might want to take a look at this:
PRB: "Invalid Command" or "Installation Wizard" Errors During Setup After
the CD Key Prompt
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;250343
In any case, it's a configuration issue with Windows.

| Thanks MikeD,
I've asked him to restart in safe mode and install from there. I haven't yet
heard back.

| Hi Mike,
My user booted in safe mode but the installation still gave the same error.
He has windows XP, Service Pack 2 installed. Are there any known issues with
MS XP Service pack 2?
Regards
Ken
