Cannot execute 16-bit installer
We have a Windows 2003 R2 server on which I am unable to execute any 16-bit installers to upgrade a legacy app.
When double-clicking on the installer, nothing happens. No error message and no entry in the event viewer logs.
I have tried the following:
- Change the Compatibility Mode to all options
- Enabled the "Allow non-administrators" to run this program
- Tried running under a domain admin account and a local admin account
This app was previously running on another Windows 2003 R2 server on which we were able to run these 16-bit installers.

Hi,
Yes the issue still exists when performing a clean boot following the KB in your post.
I tried the following with no success:
- Safe Mode with Networking
- Safe Mode without Networking
- Ran MSConfig and deselected all options
