NYles_Bobbit Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 C:\Windows\System32\AUTOEXEC.nt is not a siutable application for running MSDOS or Microsoft Windows programs, Select Close to terminate the application. FOr all u XP users out there that love this game but cant istall it I HAVE AN ANSWER. I was trying for 2 weeks to try and install this game on xp, the message above kept appearing whenever i tried to install. i followed all the prompts on these forums but none of them worked, if this is the case for you follow my prompt, i found this site while browsing google. (ahhh google, is there anything you cant do?) anyways, this a a page where you can actually download a new autoexec.nt program. i downloaded this and it installed smoothly, b ut you will also need the patch, just search around for that cos i dont have the link Link for autoexec.nt https://mcsd.ala.usmc.mil/Enterprise%20Systems/PCMIMMS.html link for xp patch http://www.zdnetindia.com/downloads/info/902195.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGroove Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Just go to your Windows folder. You'll find the folder REPAIR. In there you'll find the file called autoexec.nt. Copy it. Now go into the folder of Windows called System32 and paste inthere. Make the file read-only and hidden. Now everything should work fine. At least it worked for me.

ElvesBrew Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 This fix you mention, with the replacement for the autoexec.nt file, does it affect game play or is it just to get the installer working? Please elaborate. Thank you. EB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
