Hi Brian,
I had exactly the same problem while installing this version of Pymol on
WinXP SP2; I could fix this problem by replacing this file from the folder
c:\windows\repair to the folder c:\windows\system32. However if it doesn't
work (or if the file is absent from this repair folder), you should find a
file called autoexec.nt_ in the i386 folder of your installation CD; just
type in a command windows:
expand CD-ROM Drive Letter:\i386\autoexec.nt_
c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
If this does not resolve your issue, visit this link:

You might find here the answer to your question.
Hope it helps :-)
Cheers
Greg

Subject: [PyMOL] Problem with Installation of PyMOL 0.98 on WinXP Pro SP2
Hi everyone,
I am trying to install PyMOL 0.98 on my machine, but when I click on
SETUP.EXE,
I get the following error message, in a dialog box that reads 16-bit
Windows
Subsystem.:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for
running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application.
Has anyone else encountered this error? I don't understand why it should be
having trouble with my system. I'm running Windows XP Professional, and I
just
installed Service Pack 2, and that didn't solve the problem. I've noticed
that
there is no AUTOEXEC.NT file in my System32 folder, which I thought was
peculiar.
I'm hoping that someone out there would know how I can get around this. In
the
meantime, I'm going to try installing the Mac version on my powerbook at
home.
Somehow I suspect the installation will go much smoother on that machine...
Thanks in advance,
Brian
