I have downloaded a copy of the above mentioned software but it cannot be installed.
The filename acmboot.exe then executes with the following msg :
16 bit Windows Subsystem
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.
followed by 2 options : CLOSE or IGNORE.
but both this doesn't work at all.
I am currently running on Microsoft XP Home. Is it that the possible reason for not able to install?
As stated on the website it will install on Windows XP
But I only read read this part after failure to install the program...
1. Microsoft Windows
2000 Professional SP2,
2. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP2,
3. or Microsoft Windows XP Professional
so is there no way that i could install the program unless i upgrade to Windows XP Pro edition or buying the Visual Studio 2003 package.
Please advise me

I have copied the AUTOEXEC.NT from my Windows XP home to the system32 directory,
but his time it gives a different error,
System Error
The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode, DOSX.exe must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH.
what does that mean?
I have checked that both the AUTOEXEC.NT and DOSX.EXE now are both present in system32 directory.
I have even replaced the previous version of DOSX.EXE.
what else can i do?

Well now after running the DOSX.EXE. It gives a long command of
"Bad Commands or filename" and then hangs.
I have tried replacing the DOSX.exe from the window CD but to no avail.
Any other suggestion to help?

"16 Bit MS-DOS Subsystem" Error Message When You Install a Program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314452/EN-US/#kb3
But i already have the registry present in the computer. Therefore i did not make any changes
The only differences was the "command.com" file which mine was a little backdated
