I got the ntvdmx64 installer to work this afternoon. I had to re enable
microsoft defender and tell it that ldntvdm.dll was to be allowed and it worked
fine. I had orginally turned it off before I tried to install it and it was
being automatically  deleted during install. I even tried to load it on a usb
drive and move it over manually only to be deleted on the usb drive. So in my
case turning windows defender back on again and telling microsoft defender it
was allowed solved the problem. This was the opposite of how I did the install
on the older laptop and the newer desktop. Everything works now.
