    I'm trying to run the setup for Adobe Premiere 6.5, which I had working a few months ago... I get this error


    16 Bit Windows SubSystem

    "C:\Windows\System32\AutoExec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS And Micrososft Windows Applications. Choose 'Close' To terminate the application."

    Any help?

    The easiest is simply inserting the Windows XP CD into the CD drive and clicking start --> Run and entering:

    expand X:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

    Replace X:\ with your CD ROM drive letter.

    Goto Windows Repair and see if Autoexc.nt is there, if so, just copy and paste in system32

    thanks.

    well, im not getting the error anymore, but it still doesn't install
    not a big deal, i think you can just copy the folder from the cd to the hard drive and run it from that (havent got around to trying yet )
