I downloaded the file mentioned above and ran it on a Windows NT 4
system. The file unpacked itself into a temporary folder and then
displayed two dialog boxes indicating the it had not been able to
execute "d:\wintemp\pft51~tmp\Disk1\Setup.exe /sws". I followed a
link from Tivoli's Web site to a slightly earlier patch and got
similar results. The FTP site with the latter patch also had a
variant of the patch that stopped after unpacking itself, leaving
it to the user to start setup.exe. I downloaded the variant. It
unpacked itself without reporting any errors. When I attempted to
execute setup.exe from a command prompt I got the message "The
system cannot execute the specified program." As far as I could
tell, none of the failures wrote anything in the various logs
maintained by Windows NT. I did a Web search for the message and
found a number of reports of the same message in connection with
a variety of software products. Most of the reports mentioned
attempts to use 16 bit code. I opened a "Properties" dialog box
for setup.exe and clicked on the version tab. I saw, among other
things, "Description: 16-bit Setup Launcher." I won't pretend to
understand why a product that is only supported on Windows NT and
Windows 2000 has 16 bit installation code. Is there any way to
get the install process to work?
