Running 16-bit setup under compatibility mode on windows XP guest

I have an old 16-bit setup.exe which won't run inside an XP guest (it runs fine if I copy it to an XP system). I tried various compatability mode settings, with no effect. If I double-click on it (or run it from the command-line), NOTHING happens . . . . not even an error dialog.

Host is SUSE 10.2, Guest is Windows XP . . . .

Any hints??

Thanks!

Is it an application any of us may have?

Sorry . . . . . Smiley Happy)

It's the setup for NetManage's EccoPro (from about 1995 . . . ). NetManage doesn't support it any more.

It can be downloaded here: ftp://ftp.netmanage.com/support/pub/utilities/EC401/Ecco32/Setup32.exe

Thanks . . .
