When trying to install MS VisC++ v6 professional, I get the folowing error:

System Error
---------------------------
The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH.

Prior to this message - I get a notice that the installer has been run before, but it has not. I do have VB6 installed.

DOSX.exe exists in the autoexec.nt file, and in the system32 folder, which is also included in the PATH statement ....

Am trying to install in winXP pro - any help greatly appreciated!
