To exclude the files needed to support for MS-DOS and Windows 16-bit applications, you must modify the INITIAL.INF file, commenting out the routine that modifies the Registry key for MS-DOS and Windows 16-bit support.If the supporting files are excluded but this routine is not commented out, Setup will report an error. Lines should be commented out using the semicolon (;) as shown in the following example:
;vdmconfig =+
; shell "subroutn.inf" PushBillboard STATUSDLG $(Billboard5)
; Debug-Output "SETUP.INF: Configuring the DOS Subsystem."
; ifstr(i) $(!STF_WIN31UPGRADE) == NO
; shell "registry.inf" AppendToSystemPath "%SystemRoot%"
; endif
; read-syms ConfigSysAppend
; read-syms AutoexecBatAppend
; LibraryProcedure STATUS,$(!LIBHANDLE),VdmFixup $(AddOnConfig) $(AddOnBatch)
; ifstr(i) $(STATUS) == ERROR
; shell "subroutn.inf" PopBillboard
; EndWait
; read-syms NonFatalError2$(!STF_LANGUAGE)
; shell "subroutn.inf" SetupMessage $(!STF_LANGUAGE) NONFATAL $(NonFatal)
; StartWait
; endif
; ifstr(i) $(!STF_PLATFORM) == $(!PlatformID_Mips)
; set wowfile = krnl286
; else
; set wowfile = krnl386
; endif
; shell "registry.inf" MakeWOWEntry $(wowfile)Next, comment out the following files from the TXTSETUP.SIF, INITIAL.INF and DOSNET.INF files so the files that support MS-DOS and Windows 16-bit applications will not be installed. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Windows NT in which MS-DOS and Windows 16-bit applications were used, list these same files in the [Files.DeleteOnUpgrade] section of the TXTSETUP.SIF file. Lines in this section use the following format:
file, dir
where file is the filename and dir is the code number that is assigned (in the [WinntDirectories] section) to the directory in which the file is found.

1 These files are listed twice in the INITIAL.INF file. Be sure to remove both occurrences of each to avoid receiving an error message from Setup.
