Note the spaces in the EMM line carefully - one either side of the first = and before RAM, none with the second =
Also make sure there is a line in your autoexec.nt file (C:\windows\system32 directory) that reads:
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
The error statement which the user where I got this info stated insufficient conventional memory. This fix should give 612k of conventional memory, which seems to be the maximum possible.
I resolved the same problem with your tip. My file was wrong. There was a lot of comment's line without "REM", so, I just put the file as you recommended and I installed the aplication.
I have done all of the above also and still I also get the same error messege. I am trying to install a PC game, plus I was getting this error messege when i try to update my DirectX and several other programs. Earlier on , I had infected my pc with either a virus or some spyware that had my whole desktop black out and had a click on link that covered the whole screen asking if I wanted people to view my personal stuff and if not to click here to remove some spyware, those anuses. Well i took my pc to a freinds and house and he removed alot of junk manually , and now when i go to install a few programs I also get the same exact messege that has been pleaguing everyone else.

Possible Solution:
Edit the config.nt file in the C:\windows\system32 directory to read:
EMM = B=4000 RAM
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=40
Note the spaces in the EMM line carefully - one either side of the first = and before RAM, none with the second =
Also make sure there is a line in your autoexec.nt file (C:\windows\system32 directory) that reads:

copy \windows\repair\autoexec.nt \windows\system32\autoexec.nt
Sounds like the file was corrupted.

This still didn't solve my problem. My AUTOEXEC.NT file reads currently:
@echo off
1h %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
1h %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\redir
1h %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\dosx.exe
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3
EMM = B=4000 RAM
dos=high, umb
device=%SYSTEMROOM%\system32\himem.sys
files=40
But I still get the error message:
The Win15 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH.
so what else should I do?
