Restore 16 bit support


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi people!

I removed the 16 bit support, but now my Visual Basic 6 cannot be installed: is there any way I can restore the 16bit support without reinstall the whole o.s.?

I'm in extrahurry due to school reasons, than you for you help! :blushing:

Highly unlikely

Very much possible :thumbup

Get this file.NTVDM_nlite.inf :D

Copy to inf subdirectory of windows directory.

Run the following:

Install 16-bit subsystem:

rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\NTVDM_nlite.inf,NTVDM.Install

Remove 16-bit subsystem:

rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\NTVDM_nlite.inf,NTVDM.Remove

Anyway, I'm guessing it's a bit late for Zane given that this thread was created nearly 18 months ago...
LOL! Poor little bugger!

Anyway, here's an updated one. I forgot the [strings] and added flags for the copying to require a reboot if some files are in use or don't replace if already exists.

Removing requires WFP to be disabled.

NTVDM_nlite.inf

The inf fix worked, thanks. But is there a way to restore the compatibility tab?
