Error in Windows XP: "Error in 16-Bit-Application / Can't run 16 bit..."
SYMPTOMS When starting an installation, Windows XP may tell you something similar
like:
"Error in 16-Bit-Application / Can't run 16 bit Windows
program
File 'xxx' not found. Please make sure, that the file names and paths
are correct
and all necessary library files are available."
SOLUTION
1. Start Windows registry editor: START - Run - regedt32.
2. Search the
key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem.
3.
Change the DWORD value »NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation« to »0«.
4. Close the
registrry editor and reboot Windows.
5. Rename the directory, in which the
setup.exe resides, to a new name. Now
you can start the
installation.
COMMENTS Remark: The value »NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation« can have two values:
»0«:
Windows creates an additional 8.3 compatible directory name at every
directory
action (like creation and renaming). By setting this value to »1«
you can
deactivate this automatic behaviour. The system gets slightly faster,
but - as you
might have experienced - with some programs compatibility
problems arise.
