What can you tell me about installing a 16 bit program?

Its not so much the 16 bit but the programs require an updated install program for XP if it exists.

16-bit programs are hard because computers these days are 32 or 64 bits. your computer might have no problem because 16 bits means theres 16 digits in the lines of code like 0100011101010011 where a 32 bit might just see it as 00000000000000000100011101010011. 16 bit on a 32 might work but 32 on a 16 will cause overflow and errors.

Since this program won't run on modern operating systems, you can install it under a DOS emulator, such as DOSEmu. First install the emulator and then run the 16 bit program under it.

The best thing to do that is to have a bootable freedos CD. With that you can create a bootable freedos CD including your new installed software.
