Re: "The image file .. is valid, but is for a machine type other t

I'm wondering if you could direct me to instructions on how to use this in
order to deal with programs that have a 16-bit installer. I've run into this
problem myself and after spending 15 minutes with the software, I can't
figure out how to use it to make the program install correctly.

Thanks!

Re: "The image file .. is valid, but is for a machine type other t

64-bit Windows cannot work with 16-bit installers. The code to do so
simply does not exist in the OS.

I installed Windows 2000 in a virtual machine (www.virtualbox.org) and
in there I have 16-bit support.
