Meccano Inventory

[cnfcomps]

Hi,
I am trying to run a 16-Bit piece of software called 'Meccano Inventory 9.0' on 64-Bit Windows 10. Although I am able to get the program installed, a message 'MeccInv already running from C:\MECCINV' appears whenever it is run. I have confirmed the program works on 32-Bit Windows 10 through a VM where it starts up without error.

I have attached the trace log file hoping this might make sense to somebody.

If anyone could take a look I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,

Matt.

It looks like the problem is

1b9c:Call KERNEL.102: DOS3CALL() ret=14f7:1d8b ds=1217

This doesn't work in ntvdm or in win95, possibly it's supposed to be purgeinv.pos, but they return error 12 instead of 2. Try https://ci.appveyor.com/project/otya128/winevdm/builds/44755503/job/ylohqyxhnewphtk7/artifacts.
