Unsupported 16 Bit Application Error
Win7? up vote 19 down vote favorite 3 I am trying to install Sheridan controls (ActiveThreed 2.01) on Win7 64-bit, but evidently it is a 16-bit installer so it won't execute. What would be the best way to get round this problem? Can anyone comment on whether http://homepage3.nifty.com/takeda-toshiya/msdos/index.html would be helpful? windows-7 64bit 16-bit share|improve this question edited Sep 12 '15 at 1:56 Mogsdad 24.4k955123 asked Feb how to fix unsupported 16 bit application error 2 '12 at 3:37 CJ7 4,91832112217 The controls seems to be 32bit and outdated... –Martin Samson Feb 2 '12 at 3:43 @MartinSamson: see screenshot above. I believe this error occurs when a 16-bit program attempts to execute in Win7. –CJ7 Feb 2 '12 at 3:48 Yup. I've quickly googled for ActiveThreed and saw some 32 bit ActiveX . As Cody Gray is saying, you should probably upgrade the application requiring the controls OR run an older windows OS in a virtual machine. –Martin Samson Feb 2 '12 at 3:51 See also this question –JimmyPena Feb 3 '12 at 0:14 @JP.: I've removed the vb6 tag you added, because it actually has nothing to do with vb6. It's just a 16-bit installer trying to install on 64-bit Win7. –CJ7 Feb 3 '12 at 1:43 | show 3 more comments 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted I posted some information on the Infragistics forums for designer widgets that may help you for this.

for installation of old software may exhibit this problem on operating systems where the creation of short file names has been disabled (e.g. by setting the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation registry value to 1).This problem may be solved by https://cloanto.com/kb/14-131 moving the setup file to a location which does not use long names in its path components (e.g. the root of drive C) and running it from there. If this does not solve the problem, a change to a registry value is required.The NTFS file system (introduced in Windows NT and used by Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 16 bit 2008, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and Windows 10) automatically creates 8.3 "short" file names and stores them along with the NTFS "long" name. Although the short names are not visible when you browse the file system, they are present, and you may see them in some path values stored in the system registry, or displayed in setup programs. This duplication, which only affects long file and 16 bit installer directory names, results in a slightly increased overhead when creating a new file or directory, however it is required for compatibility with older applications. Unfortunately even some newer programs, released well after the introduction of "long" file names on Windows, rely on support for short file names in order to be compatible with the widest possible range of operating systems and file systems. This includes the InstallShield software used by non-current versions of Cloanto applications which did not yet use Windows Installer (MSI) technology.Please note that Windows Vista, Windows 7 and x64 versions of Windows do not include a 16-bit subsystem. The 16-bit components described in this article will not work on Windows Vista, Windows 7 or on x64 versions of Windows.Warning - Please read the following article before proceeding:Editing the Windows RegistryThe creation of 8.3-compliant short names on NTFS partitions is controlled by a registry value, which by default is set to enable the creation of short names.If the following value is set to 1 then short file names are not created:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation=1If the value is missing, or set to 0, then short file names are created:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation=0A reboot is required for the change to fully take
