C# System.Diagnostics.Process: can't launch a 32 bit exe file in 64 bit OS

Question

Answer 1

Turbo Pascal could only generate 16-bit code, there was never a version that could create 32-bit executables. Running 16-bit code requires a virtual machine that uses the real-mode emulation support in the CPU (virtual 8086 mode). This emulation is not available if the processor is running in 64-bit mode.

You cannot run 16-bit processes on a 64-bit operating system. You may have a shot at getting it going with the DOSBox emulator.
