No.

This message comes from Windows.  For some reason you are being prevented
from running the DOS executable.  I know you can get this message if your
default directory is too long, or if you environment is too full.  It 
may happen also if someone has set a policy against you running DOS 
images.

1) Make sure you have a short current directory, like c:\djgpp\bin
2) Run from a command line
3) Make sure your path is reasonably short, i.e
   set path=c:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\djgpp\bin
4) Remove unneeded environment variables:
   SET PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER= 
5) Try running as an administrator; check policy on running dos images
