"The article describes how to obtain a fresh copy of config.nt, autoexec.nt and command.com from your original Windows XP installation CD."
Thats only referring to the error that references those files. Ive tried doing that, and it didnt help. The symptoms of that error are these error windows:
"16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem
path to the program that you are trying to start or install
C:\Winnt\System32\config.nt The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Notice my error is different. Thats what got me.
Is it safe to remove Windows Installer 3.1? The remove program tells me that xx programs will stop working (basically everything I have).
