Did it say it couldn't register, or did it say it "couldn't find (or couldn't
register)" the files? Because if the problem is that they don't exist (e.g.
VB40016.DLL, OC25.DLL, THREED16.OCX, COMDLG16.OCX, etc), then go look for them at
  http://solo.abac.com/dllarchive/
If they don't have what you're looking for, they have a search engine that will
find it. One by one, put the files that NB reports to be missing into the
\winnt\system32 directory (or another directory in the PATH), until NB loads. I
doubt that you need to register these files (it should happen automatically), but
if you do, use REGSVR16.EXE (I think it's called).

If you get the demo going, let us know. It should go.

NT v4.0 SP5-128bit; OS/2 v4.0 FP11
