Re: Am I in danger? suggests it might be detected as a false positive by a virus scanner. Maybe you are running a scanner that already attempted to "neturalize" it?

It exhibits the same message even if there's no anti-virus installed.

32 and 64-bit EXE and DLL files have almost invariably this text near the beginning:

This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

and the letters PE shortly thereafter.

16-bit ones typically had:

This program requires Microsoft Windows.

and letters NE.

Looking at the exe I found:
this is a Windows NT windowed executable

But I also found:
This program requires windows version 3.1

In the game's readme only Windows 95 is mentioned along with DirectX.
Now I'm totally lost.

Another thing that baffles me is that Windows doesn't recognize it as a valid app but still exhibits the icon.
