Trying to install AVG
I downloaded AVG antivirus and when I tried to install it I get a message saying:
16 bit Windows Subsystem
E: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT
This system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows Applications
I also got the same message a few weeks ago when trying to install my digital camera software.
Earlier tonight though, I succesfully installed Adaware and ZoneAlarm with no problems.
I am almost out of beer and ready to give up for the night, I'll check back tomorrow for suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Using XP Pro and trying to install AVG 6.0. I had AVG installed on 2 other machines using XP Pro with no problems.
maflsc just had Norton installed, so I installed AdAware and Zone Alarm to show her the crap Norton was missing, so she uninstalled Norton, and now I can't get AVG to install, so we're without a antivirus at the moment.

Your Autoexec.nt file has been deleted by some nasty. Same thing happened to me last week.
Can be fixed by making a copy of autoexec.nt on another machine, and pasting it to the right spot, (in your case E: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32).
Everything should now work ok.

Thanks Av.
I found AutoExec.nt in Windows/System/Repair and moved it to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and that solved the problem.
I owe ya a beer, mate.

Just as a side note, Grisoft is stopping the Free AVG 6 by the end of the year:
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. From what I hear, there will be a Free Version 7 soon.
Grisoft announces the end of support for AVG version 6.0 effective on December 31, 2004 for technical reasons. This version has been available since 1999. Its structure does not allow for further improvements planned for version 7 nor improvements in detection techniques expected to come in the future.
End of support means we will no longer provide program updates or Virus Database updates for version 6.0 and therefore, within days, this version will not protect against new virus outbreaks!
Current AVG 6.0 users should upgrade to AVG 7.0.
