Vista still has these 3 files for backwards compatibility.

Is there any reason why you have not been able to just install the program normally like you would under XP?

If it doesn't work, you can right click the program for the Properties box and set the compatibility mode for XP or 98.

If neither of those work, then you would have to try something like VirtualBox to run XP or 98 under Vista.

No NT OS supports the Autoexec.bat, config.sys. Only 32-bit editions have the 16-bit "setver" program.

it does however have autoexec.nt and config.nt for DOS-based applications. The setup program probably created a autoexec.bat and config.sys file in the root of the system drive; simply copy or cut the contents of these files into your autoexec.nt and config.nt files. (or if there are no .nt files simply rename them)
