No. It's a 16-bit app. You could perhaps run it in a 32-bit OS running in a VM on a 64-bit system. See the (strangely familiar) last post in this thread...

Hello
yes i did ask this before, but somehow I thought I got it to work without VM but can’t remember how....

womderd if installing older .net framework versions would help......

so should it be ik on a 32 bit System..

seemd a lot of steps to set it up, but if it works then that will be perfect....

plan is to write a program in C to give all the features of money matters, as there is nothing available commercially to match it...

thanks for the help

Don't think so. An entire Compatibility Layer has to be provided to run 16/32 bit apps on a 32/64 bit OS.

For a 32-bit Windows that's NTVDM/WOW (Windows on Windows). 64-bit Win10 uses SysWOW64 to allow 32-bit apps to run.

You may have some luck with DOSBox (though I haven't tried it myself).

....since Windows 3.1 itself was basically a DOS application, you can install Windows 3.1 in DOSBox and run old 16-bit Windows 3.1 applications

That would work too :)

Just installed XP pro using Hyper V, ollowed Kali procedure, working good, even got the internet working....
cant get a usb recognised but am using Dropbox on a browser on XP and my DB account on my Windows 10 PC to transfer files between the two.....using Opera browser....

very pleased...

Well, if the usb is a sticking point, there's always DosBox. A usb, cdrom or any HDD or folder on a drive can be mounted as a drive letter.

Recognise this well known 16-bit app? :)
