    Theme Hospital Help?

    I just bought Theme Hospital as used to have the game on my Windows 98, but have lost it since and now have an XP.

    I have tried installing but come up with error

    16 Bit Windows Subsystem
    c:\windows\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.

    Uhh help, how do I install ???

    Thanks

    Have you tried the Compatibility mode (right click install -> Compatibility -> Compatibility mode)?

    Failing that, DosBox may work.

    The installer is a 16bit application and is unable to run on your machine. Fourternatly the game doesn't actually have to be installed so if you browse the disc in my computer and look for the folder called 'HOSP'. Either copy that folder to somewhere on your hard disc or open it up and run the application 'WINMAIN.exe' and, hopefully, the game should work fine.
