It tells me this as soon as I try to run setup:

c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate this application.

And there are 2 buttons, Close and Ignore. Doesn't make a difference which one I click either.

Running Windows Server 2003
 
Nevermind, I got it figured out. Turns out it had nothing to do with Premiere. I searched for autoexec.nt and found it in the windows/repair folder. So I just moved it to the system32 folder and all seems to be working fine again.
 
Searching the world wide interweb, I found this suggestion:

For some reason, a command mode program is attempting to execute. Autoexec.nt must function for command made to work. Look at it with a text editor. This is what it should look like:


@echo off

REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

I checked mine and mine has an additional entry for a soundblaster module. Otherwise it looks like that. Maybe try that.
