Win2003 error when installing older programs

[truba]

I have problem when I want to install older windows
programs on Windows 2003 (that worked on previous windows
versions). When I start installation I get error message
somethnig like this "16 bit Windows subsystem: This ms-
dos application cannot be started: config.nt is bla bla",
and I have to close installation. Keep in mind that
almost every app I'm talking about is created with
InstallShield (or compatible), not dos programs.

Anyone with idea?
Thanks!

Are you actually talking about

Windows XP
Windows Server 2003
or Windows XP 64-bit Edition Version 2003

Win 2003 Server Enterprise. But, there's no group
specially for 2003, so I'm posting here.

Thanks.

Thanks.

The Windows Server family (NT 4.0 , 2000 and 2003) are covered by the groups

microsoft.public.windows.server.*

Please repost to a more appropriate group.
