No Input Devices when Installing 16-bit Program

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that when you are trying to install a 16-bit program you are unable to use the keyboard or mouse, we will look into this for you. However, we would like to know which application are you trying to install.

As you have already tried installing the program in Compatibility mode and enabled NTVDM, I suggest you to change the properties for Command Prompt and check if that allows you to install the program.



Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open Command Prompt.
   
2. Right click on the title Command Prompt and click on
   Properties.
   
3. Select the checkbox for Use legacy console (requires relaunch) and click on
   OK.
   
4. Close and re-open Command Prompt.
   

Now, trying installing the program.



If you are using Windows 10 Pro, you can use Group Policy editor to change the settings for 16-bit applications. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type gpedit.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Now, expand Computer Configuration.
   
4. Expand Administrative templates and then,
   Windows Components.
   
5. Click on Application Compatibility.
   
6. On the right-pane, double click on Prevent access to 16-bit applications.
   
7. Click on Disabled and click on
   OK.
   
8. If prompted, restart the computer.
   

If the issue persists, I suggest you to post your query in
TechNet forums, where we have support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on installing 16-bit applications to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps.
