homeskillet Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hello all. I'm trying to run a Dell Notebook System Software setup program @ the T-39 stage of setup and I keep getting the error below:16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem -C:\DOCUME~1\DEFAUL~1.WIN\APPLIC~1\SMBIOSSP.exeC:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT. The system file is not suitable forrunning MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' toterminate the application.My .sif looks like:[GuiUnattended]OemSkipWelcome = 1OemSkipRegional = 1DetachedProgram = "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\NSS\setup.exe"Arguments = "-S"TimeZone = 035...It appears that autoexec.nt and config.nt are not where they should be (%windir%\system32) for the NTVDM (?) to run during T-39, hence the error. Should they (autoexec.nt & config.nt) be available at the T-39 stage and if not, how does everyone else get programs like 7zip, etc. to run right @ T-39? I have an idea to place a autoexec.nt and config.nt in the %windir%\system32 directory just before I run the setup.exe program (via a batch file), but in my searches for T-39 events, I've found nothing needing to do all that for the NTVDM (?) to be available to run programs @ T-39. Does anybody have any idea what I can do here, or has anyone run into this problem?Thanks!Homeskillet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 You use cmdlines.txt or [setupParams] to launch at T-12 or T-9. You will NOT be able to install 99% of the applications out there at T-39 - almost NONE of the OS is installed at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
