You're using a very old version. Get the zip from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/otya128/winevdm/builds/39962429/job/imb75b4mmeyijb8c/artifacts and try that.

This should say "Strange error set by CreateProcess: 740" then print an elevation dialog. Are you running it as a user that can be elevated?

Octavious commented 3 years ago

yes, i run cmd as an admin

cracyc commented 3 years ago

Do you get an elevation prompt when you start the installer?

Octavious commented 3 years ago

no, no prompt

cracyc commented 3 years ago

If you can try some other installshield installer to see if this is a problem specific to this one or not. Otherwise there's nothing obviously wrong in the trace and I can't repo it with installshield here so I'm not sure what else to suggest. The 16bit part is a stub that launches a win32 program which is the real installer so the problem might not even be with winevdm.

Octavious commented 3 years ago

mmmm, well i will try to find some other 16 bits installer although i doubt that i will find.

i tried the installer on an XP VM and it worked, i am not sure if this information helps

cracyc commented 3 years ago

These are really common. The win32 version of simcity 2000 uses the same installer for example.

Octavious commented 3 years ago

does it help if i share the iso file with you?

cracyc commented 3 years ago

It might.

The installer works fine for me so I don't know what's happening, That said you can just run prog.exe from the cd to use the program. The only problem I see is the movie is misaligned on the first screen.

Octavious commented 3 years ago

ok, thanks, i will give it a try on another PC

Thanks for your time

Hi, I have a similar problem.

I installed a PLC programming software, which runs flawlessly on a 32-bit Windows XP, on my (and on a second) laptop running 64-bit Windows 10 Pro, ver. 21H2, build 19044.1387, by means of the software's 32-bit installer InstallShield.

The installer installs several 32-bit and 16-bit apps and puts several (.dll, .ocx, .vbx and .exe) files into the Windows /system and /SysWOW64 (redirected from /system32) folders.

Unfortunately some 16-bit apps (the main and other apps) don't work with OTVDM (ver. 2198). When launching an app the splash window of the app appears for few seconds and then disappears. The Windows Task Manager shows "Windows Problem Reporting" and the Windows Event Viewer shows "Application Error" (Faulting application path: C:\otvdm\otvdm.exe, Faulting module path: C:\otvdm\dll\krnl386.exe16).

A trace files and screenshots are attached.

Could someone help to overcome this issue. Any help is highly appreciated.
