Game won't install

[Andy1969]

I'm trying to install Alpha Centauri but when I click install on the autoplay menu or double click the setup icon I get the message:

C:\Windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

My operating system is XP Pro with service pack 2. I've tried following the advice here:

but I still get the same message.

Is there anyway I can install the game?

Thanks
