Do 16 bit apps work in Windows 2000 guests?

Post by brainsys »

I run a Win2k guest OS under Kubuntu 11.04 64 bit. This is for legacy applications of that era. The problem I have is installing Quicken 2000. That is a 16 bit app for Win95/98 but runs fine under native Win 2000 & XP.

Installing it on the guest causes the error that it is not a 32 bit app. Correct, but does that mean you can't run Win2k compatible 16bit apps?
