in [Windows XP]

From: Rainy on 30 Apr 2010 07:27 Windows XP Home OEM Sp3 Error: Cannot install 16 bit programs I have never had this problem before. I was having a problem with one of my favorite programs (The Font Thing), so I uninstalled it. When I tried to reinstalled it, I got the prompt I couldn't install 16 bit programs. I have used this program for years, and the only thing I have done recently that is different is to get some windows xp updates! . Does anyone know what could be causing this? I think it might be one of the updates! Appreciate any help.. Rainy

Hi Pegasus, I no longer had the program or setup file on my system, so I had to try and reinstall it and this is what I got Can't run 16-bit Windows Program Cannot find the C:\Progra~1\Sue Fisher\SETUP.EXE (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available. Of course I am staring right at it... :) I hope this helps you to help me.. thanks so much! Rainy

Rainy The first step would be to check if the file C:\Progra~1\Sue Fisher\SETUP.EXE exists. You can find out like so: 1. Click Start / Run 2. Type the three letters cmd and press Enter. 3. Type this command and press Enter: dir C:\Progra~1\Sue Fisher\SETUP.EXE If the file does exist, continue like so: 4. cd /d C:\Progra~1\Sue Fisher{Enter} 5. setup{Enter} You should also ask yourself how the folder C:\Progra~1\Sue Fisher got created. It is not a native Windows folder. Did you perform some other step before when attempting to install this program? What were they?
