Trouble installing wxPython win32-ansi

Hello

I downloaded the wxPython self installing executable and on my Win 2000 SP4 machine at work I get the following error when I try to install:

16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

c:\src\Python\WXPYTH~4.exe
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction

It looks like this PC doesn’t like the 16bit exe. Outside of “get a new PC” is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks
