Sadly NTVDM is not available on 64-bit versions of Windows. So running old 16-bit Windows applications, mostly games, can't be done normally. There are other ways though (DOSBox running Windows 3.1, Wine, a hacked 64-bit version of NTDVM...)
Also, quite a few 32-bit applications used 16-bit installers. Thankfully if it's InstallShield you can just swap it out with a generic 32-bit version and that usually works.
