Question about 'Do I still need CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT?'

I have a question about Do I still need CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT?:

I have some really old software that I'm trying to install on a windows XP machine and each time I run the setup.exe file and go through the install process it errors out that it couldn't open the autoexec.bat file.

From what i've read here, XP does not need the autoexec.bat file. I have attempted to set up "autoexec.bat" as a windows user environmental variable but that did nothing.

Anyone know of a work around for this?
