Installing Programs

[Chel71]

Every time I try to install from a CD rom I get the message:- 16 bit Windows
Subsystem
C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
How can I fix this so that I can install things?

Hi Chel,

Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows-based
program

This should help resolve this common problem. Basically, you will have to
expand new copies of command.com, autoexec.nt, and config.nt to the system32
folder from the WinXP CD or I386 folder on your hard drive. Sometimes, you
need to create new ones and overwrite the existing ones - the method is
described in the article.
