win 32 - Q298218

[simon johnson]

I am trying to intall SystemWorks Pro 2003 into my
computer, the Window XP won't let it do it even I try to
install the program manual. And, I found out this
behavior occur if the program I am trying to install uses
a 16-bit install.exe or setup.exe file. Window XP for
64-bit platforms does not support 16-bit programs.
Anyone can help, please e-mail to me. Thank you.

If you are using the 64 Bit version of XP, you cannot install a 16 Bit
program. There is no way to change this.

Are you sure you are using the 64 Bit version of XP?
