The patch not only tries to run 16-bit dos executables but also tries to run 16-bit windows executables.
And also tries to run old 32-bit executables 😉
Using "Command Prompt (Admin)" from right clicked start menu works for first use in same session.
If an executable has to run another old 32-bit executable...
You have to run it in another "Command Prompt (Admin)" session. 😉 (not sure about this)

So you either have some 16-bit working and sometimes old 32-bit working if you install the patch
or
old 32-bit more often working and no 16-bit if you don't install the patch 😉

Anyway it has an uninstaller so you can install it just for the moment you need it.
Or uninstall it for the moment you don't want it 😀

Need help with that I try to install it on Win7 x64

i lowered UAC to minimum so it won't ask me any rights.

i also click on install.bat to run it as administrator

i have endless cycle of appearing / disappearing console window with message "Requesting administrative privileges..."

i get it from here -> http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/ntvdmx64.html

I remember you have to prepare it in a 16-bit OS (WinXP works)

Did there any instructions?

i get it here -> http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/ntvdmx64.html

"Leecher1337 does not distribute a compiled version of his patched version, but I have obtained a copy together with an installer, which may be downloaded here. To install NTVDMx64, run INSTALL.BAT, and restart your system when prompted. If you want, you may uninstall it from the Control Panel or PC Settings."

Sounds simple...

in the process you have to choose windows version.
there are at least two choices 7 or 8/10
you have 7 so maybe the one you try is for 10

have you prepared it yourself?
does it have NTVDM uninstaller created in control pannel programs?
if yes, try running some 16-bit text mode applications first, like rar for dos, norton commander etc.
use cmd (not command prompt from right clicked start menu)

The biggest problem with this NTVDMx64 solution is that it prevents running native x64 console applications
(such as FAR file manager x64 version https://www.farmanager.com/download.php?l=en and all my own x64 console applications).
While 16-bit programs work 64-bit console mode programs throw an error of 0xc0000142.
I had to remove "AppInit_DLLs"="ldntvdm.dll" from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows to restore normal functionality.
I have attached a console application of mine that does not work while NTVDMx64 is installed on my Win10.

Falcosoft have you tried running it from right-clicked start -> command prompt (admin)?

Thanks for your tip. It worked once but it's not very convenient. But the bigger problem is that when NTVDMx64 is installed sometimes even 64-bit admin command prompt/cmd.exe throws the same error:
