Hello everyone,
I'm having quite the odd problem and I'm hoping someone here can help.
I've been attempting to install some software, and I keep getting an
error saying that DOSX.EXE is missing or not in my path (16-bit
subsystem error). Now, here's the deal. My Autoexec.nt and config.nt
files are fine, and it appears that DOSX.EXE is missing completely
from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32.
The kicker here is when I attempt to expand DOSX.EX_ to
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, it still doesn't appear. So I tried moving it to
C:\. Again, no dice, it doesn't appear. So I decided to try moving
it to a thumb drive from another computer onto this one. The instant
I plugged in the Thumb drive, it's not showing on the Thumb Drive
either.
So I expanded DOSX.EX_ to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, and kept the name
DOSX.EX_. When I attempted to rename DOSX.EX_ to DOSX.EXE, the system
gave me an error saying the file was already there, that I couldn't
rename it to DOSX.EXE.
I have the system set to show hidden files and folders, I have the
system set to not hide protected OS files. At this point, I'm lost as
to where I could go from here.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Curt
