Sorry, can't help with your problem, but I'm posting under your heading
about a problem I have with this same exe file.
In my case I'm attempting to perform an install of the Borland Database
Engine that was compiled under Installshield. On my Vista test machine at
work, this file installs fine. However, on my home test system I get an
error (unrecoverable error with NTVDM.exe) and the file fails to install.
I've tried running it in compatability mode without any luck. Both are clean
installs of Vista. The only real difference between the two systems is that
my work machine is a single proc Intel 3.0 cpu while my home system is a
dual proc Intel 820 D. Not sure if it's the dual proc causing the problem or
not. If anyone has a idea on how to get this to work, I would also
appreciate some help.

Hi,
Some history would help, like what have you installed prior to this problem?
Ntvdm, the Virtual dos machine, is used to run 16bit applications, so that
is where you should concentrate on looking. Process Explorer from
sysinternals.com may help you isolate it.

I thought I read somewhere that 16bit apps will not be supported in Vista

16-bit apps are not supported in any of the x64 operating systems, including
Vista. I don't think that applies to x86 however.

x86 will support 16 bit apps. 64-bit won't.
