I initailially got the same message here. This is what I had to do to get kixcrypt running on my Windows 2000 box:

I created a shortcut called encrypt.lnk with the following specifics:

shortcut->target: c:\kixcrypt.exe c:\test.kix

then I simply started the link from the DOS command prompt. This created an executable called crypted.exe in the root of C:. Hopes this gives you a clue as to waht might be happening !
