I had a look at it last night.  That page links to a GitHub page which has the code, but also links to a compiled version with an installer (as a batch file). I tried the compiled version - It asked if I wanted to enable 16-bit Windows apps too and I said yes; then it said it failed to put something in the registry.  It prompted to reboot, which I did, but I was still unable to run 16-bit applications.  I'm also using Windows 11 at home, so perhaps this doesn't work on Windows 11?  I'm curious to look at the project on GitHub more and see if there's anything I can do to get it to work.  But maybe it's more work than I thought to get it working..
