My system is running Windows XP Pro and encounters this
message whenever double clicking on 16 bit executable. In
this case, the offending file is a self-executable
archive. The error occurrence happens with several other
setup files as well.

16 bit Windows Subsystem
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

terminate the application.

My internet research has bought me some insight on
situation, yet the problem still persists. XP's
compatibility wizard did not resolve my problem either.
Knowledge base article 314452 (link below) gave me the
most insight about the situation, yet the suggestion
outlined here did not remedy the situation. Now, the
next step is not obvious to me. Please let me know if
anyone has suggestions about this issue.
