autoexec.nt error message #271

I just installed NTVDMX64 on my Windows 10 64-bit machine. When I tried to run a SETUP.EXE file to install some old software, I get the following error message:

The Win16 subsystem was unable to enter protected mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your path.

I found AUTOEXEC.NT in my windows\syswow64 folder and added: LH C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\DOSX PATH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\ then rebooted and still get the same error message.

How can I correct this so the SETUP.EXE runs? Thanks!

Did some web surfing and someone else found that you had to put some statements in the CONFIG.NT file as well. Then the program worked.
