I am trying to install the first Sims game and I get the following message:

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.

Hi SibLovesTheSims,

Here's an easy method to solve that error:

If that doesn't correct the issue, try this manual method:

1. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\repair
Right-Click and Copy the file named: autoexec.nt *

2. Browse to C:\WINDOWS\System32
Right-Click in that window to Paste the file
(Answer yes if prompted to replace existing file)


* Note: If the file autoexec.nt doesn't exist on your system
right click the link below and select the "Save Target As.."
option to save the file in C:\WINDOWS\System32
