problems with via 4 in 1's

[manwithplan]

hey everyone

Has anyone else had problems installing the 4.49 hyperion drivers under xp?

Any time i try to install them XP kicks up an error complaining about the 16 bit windows subsystem "the system file is not suitable for running ms-dos and ms windows apps"

I got eh drivers from the via site direct so its not a dodgy package and ive downloaded it a few times too so its not a corrupted download.

anyone else got any ideas?

Are you sure you downloaded the right drivers? The file might be corrupted because or (for some odd reason) it might be trying to install the Win9x drivers.

just installed 4.43's off a CD onto an A7V8X using Win2K and it worked fine.

no this doesn't help you... sorry

in the end i pulled the contents of the file out using winzip and did it the hard way, device manager > search for new drivers and pointing it at the extracted folder.

nasty hack but it worked
