First, I checked with 'dir' command on the first line,
then executed an example 16bit app.
The error msg returned is not comprehensive.
The 16bit app example is just a light hex editor, but all of my other 16bit app which usually works in console returns this error also.

Re: Help needed on Linux, NTFS and 16bit exe files //SOLVED
Wow, hahah you're amazing, that trick you suggested worked!
That solved the problem.
All 16bit binary is running now.
Thanks a lot!!
edit: what causes this prob? Is it some ENV variables on my setup?
Strange behaviour for a normally working 16bit app if ran in other systems.

It may be spaces in the path. Try putting quotes around it.MikeGL wrote: edit: what causes this prob? Is it some ENV variables on my setup?

Thanks again for the help.
Tried the double quote trick by doing ajwes wrote:It may be spaces in the path. Try putting quotes around it.MikeGL wrote: edit: what causes this prob? Is it some ENV variables on my setup?

SET %HOMEPATH% and
SET %USERPROFILE% with double quotes, still won't work.
Tried a shortcut file, also tried to modify those property settings in shortcut file (.lnk) for compatibility, to no avail.
Anyway, some guys have similar problems posted last year. I will try to dig the web further.
Same problem with this admin guy here:

'gdisk' will show you detailed information about partitions and would show any differences between the Linux NTFS and Windows NTFS partitions.

Windows supports long filenames and allows spaces in file names. DOS does not, so when a filename is longer than 8 characters, DOS will truncate the file name to an abbreviated form that is 8 characters long. For example, the folder "Program Files" is displayed in DOS as "Progra~1".
