I heard that DOSBox is a DOS emulatoir, will it run 16-Bit WINDOWS software?

Win XP x64 is fully backward compatible to 32 bit softwares using the built in WOW32 technology. Although, 16 bit application support have been discontinued because Microsoft can't go on carrying them forever. So, what you actually need is a 16 bit Emulator. DOSBox is one of the popular ones. You can find more by googling.
Many softwares can't get past the Installation point in Win XP x64. This is because the setup validation fails for the Operating System. Many such applications can be run by Copy-Pasting the files and (if required) importing the registry settings. Although, complex applications such as Antivruses designed for 32 bit environments are not likely to run. Perhaps because they need to install drivers or something like that.

Hello:I am using Windows XP x64 bit.Can anyone point me in the direction of emulators that will allow ALL 32-bit and 16-bit apps to run under this platform?Thanks,John Kercheval
