Sim City 3000 won't install

[lovefurypassion]

I recently bought Sim City 3000, in a value pack from Maxis. All the other games work except for this one. when I put the disc in, the install menu comes up. I click install and a box comes up saying "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate tha application." What do i do? please help!

I had this happen to me on my old system as well.

What is happening is the AUTOEXEC.NT file is not in your System 32 folder. Some pop-up blockers, anti-spyware (for some reason) have been nuking it thinking it is evil.

This fixed me up:
