If the path to the setup files use long file names then you will get that
message when trying to run a 16bit file. If that is the case then put the
files into a folder that conforms to the 8+3 DOS rule for files & folders
and try again.

PUT YOUR CLOCK RIGHT AS WELL!!!!!!!!!
 
From C:\Windows\Repair directory copy file autoexec.nt to
C:\Windows\System32\ and after that go in that directory and with right
button click Properties and select Read only (click in box) and after that
REBOOT your computer.

Fix your damned calendar! You're a week ahead of everyone else! I don't
reply to post daters (except to tell them they're post dating) then it's
straight in the bozo bin.
