I need to enabled 16 bit applications from an installer on windows 8. I found that windows a supports 16 bit applications, and this support can be enabled by Control Panel->16 Bit Application Support. I would like to enable this automatically on a system. I was hopeful that some one might know if there was a registry key or api call or something that I could set so this would just work without having to manually configure it. Thanks for your help.
I am not sure if it is possible to do it autmoatically but if this option is disabled, Windows 8 will automatically asks you to enable the option whenever you try to run a 16-bit application. So that would not be a big deal.
