Microsoft's SP2 has a known issue where it deletes autoexec.nt which prevents the 16-bit subsystem from staring. I haven't had this happen to my machine but one InstallShield setup wrapped in a exe builder failed to run on a customers machine. Seems part of the installer uses 16-bit code for maximum portability (win3.1 and up) Check out Microsoft KB324767. I just copied a fresh autoexec.nt from c:\windws\repair and it worked again. Might be your issue. Oh, and check out 7zip at sourceforge.net for a neat little "exe builder". Make your setup files then just zip them with the automaticly run function or (SFX Builder recommended by PowerArchiver).
