Have a client who is attempting to migrate their OI (16-bit) to Win2K desktops from Win-98SE. They receive an error message stating that they cannot run a 16-bit program and then the .EXE cannot be found. I have numerous clients using Win-2K on other platforms with no drama (including Novell, Win2K server and Win-NT server). The number of users is small (3). They have always run the app from the SQL server using Win9X desktops. Any suggestions?

Don,
Your problem sounds familiar. I.e, I think I read about something similar in some posting. Could it be this one: ?

I've never had to run the OI Client install at any of my sites before since I don't use Reporter in any of my apps. Normally, I just package the RDK with the correct number of bumps and ship the software to my client. Even stranger is the fact that Win2K is being run at a fair number of my user sites with no problems reported (using NT, Win2K, Win95/98 and Novell servers). Is there a list of required 16-bit DLL's that are required in Windows\System? I will try the changes to CONFIG.NT suggested elsewhere, though.

Don,
I know nothing about this stuff.
Btw - when I said I thought your symptom seemed familiar I had the vague notion I read about it more recently than the date of the posting I found. Perhaps there are other postings of relevance out there.
