To execute DOS applications with 64-bit Windows you may use the XP Mode of Windows 7 Professional or a DOS emulator like DOSBox[^].

Solution 1

No, you can't.

The 16 bit application can't run on 64 bit environment.

This is operating system's restriction.

Hi Jochen, thank you very much

I downloaded the DOSBox and it ran my 16bit app in win 7 64bit computer :)

now I need to automatically run the dosbox from my c# app and programmatically execute the commands to run my own 16bit app from c#

Is this possible?

Thanks again
