The system file is not suitable for running MSDOS and MS windows applications

Legacy KB ID: 1919

Question

Why do I get the message "The system file is not suitable for running MSDOS and MS windows applications"?

Why do I get the message autoexec.nt  - system file is not suitable for running MSDOS and MS windows applications when installing quickbooks

Answer


Locate a copy of autoexec.nt in C:\windows\repair on your computer.
Copy and paste it into C:\windows\system32. (say "yes" to overwrite the existing file).


Failing this visit the following link for more information;

This can be caused by Spyware or similar applications being ran before installing Quickbooks

How did we do?
