Is there anyway to install a 16-bit app on windows 2003 x64? I have an app
called eTime with a 16-bit installer that will not install. Is there any
sort of emulator to support 16bit apps? This is a terminal services server,
so using vmware is not really going to work for each user.

No 16bit process will run, no. If the app itself is 32bit, and is not
relying on any driver-like system calls, I [think] I can recall hearing of
someone tweaking something like this into installing through 'Compatibility
Mode'. But, generally, the answer should be - no!

If you need something like this, you probably know this - there is a Web
Based Time Sheet system of the same name here:

Thanks. I got the app running, I just copied it off another box and copied
all the DLL's to the proper locations. It looks like its a 32bit app, but
the installer is 16bit.

Ah, yes - good thinking, dodging the installer altogether!

That definitely confirms that the application itself is not 16bit. Glad you
got it all working.
