Run 16-Bit Program Across Network
Mark Berry August 2, 2010
Okay I’ll admit it. I have a hard time upgrading programs when the old version is working well.
I have a 1995-era time tracking program from KMR Consulting called Timeclock that I still use. I run it across the network from my Windows XP SP3 and 32-bit Windows 7 machines. However after changing the host from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008, the 16-bit reporting module gives me this message:
Can’t run 16-bit Windows program
Cannot find file L:\TimeClock\Timeclk.mcb\TCREPORT.EXE (or one of this components).
But why does changing the host file system matter?
