While digging on this post (Re: Doom95 under Windows 10) (win 10 compatibility issues) i found that some old games can't launch its installers. Is there any technical details behind this?
For example Blood 2 setup.exe shows this error:

And its autorun says that 16bit appication can't work in 64bit os.

Turok 2 doesn't show any errros, its just doing nothing, only sits in task manager:

Whats the problem? Why its happening? Is there any explanation? Usually manually setupped games work ok, but their setups won't work.
From my point of view, game is much more complex app then setup utility, but game works and setup not 😀
