- .exe files do not start
- Posted by MarcusB on October 20th, 2005
We got very strange problem. We have some software with setup.exe files.
On some computers with Windows XP pro which is connected to the domain
double clicking on setup.exe file do not start it. Just nothing happen.

I've had a similar XP problem, as yet unresolved, so am interested in any
responses to this.
My problem:
16-bit Setup.exe files do not appear to run when logged in as a domain
user/administrator. If I open task manager, I can see the setup.exe in the
list. The setup program does not appear on the screen. UNTIL I log out, at
which point it breifly pops up, before the logout process kills it.
If I login as a local administrator, the 16-bit setup application runs OK.
This might be a workaround for your problem until someone suggests a fix.
Chris.
