Dear friends:

I want to install an old application, and I get an error message
saying (more or less) the following:

Windows Installer error: "Not enough resources for Win16 Subsystem"

What can I do? I tried to run the installer in a Win95 compatibility
mode, but I got the same results.

Any hint?

I don't want to loose my archived old windows applications!!!

Thanks
