This ia a very useful software that I need to use under modern OS:
It can examine the structure of any 16 or 32 bits executable file or library, running under WINDOWS :
Windows 3.1x
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows NT 3.5x
Windows NT 4
Windows 2000
https://web.archive.org/web/20100917201538/http://www.bellamyjc.org/en/scanbin.html

The executable file itself:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080415000000*/http://bellamyjc.org/download/scanb6.exe

After starting the program from unpacked installer folder (it's an SFX ZIP) or after starting of scanb6.exe it throws an error window (on the screenshot), and crashes.
Error_ScanBin
After that it shows a window complaining about "The executable files have been modified !" (it's not modified in any way).
Error_ScanBin_2

#1406 should fix installing and some file opening. It seems to have problems with deep directory structures but I'm not sure if it's a bug in the program or in winevdm.

Thank you very much! It works now.
