"This update can only run on Microsoft windows vista" error  

Hi all,

I have a SONY VGN-SZ740N and I installed windows 7 32-bit.
When I want install VAIO® Launcher Software, says "This update can only run on Microsoft windows vista".
But I downloaded VAIO® Launcher Software for windows 7 32-bit.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks & best regards,
Nima

try rightclicking on the program >> properties >> compatibility tab >> try running it in one of the vista modes

Try installing in comatibility-mode
Compatibility Mode

Compatibility way didn't work unfortunately.
I do it for seven, if I must do it for vista? (my windows is seven 32-bit)

i'm sorry, i do not understand your question.

Dear mickey megabyte
I tried to install VAIO® Launcher Software in compatibility-mode, but it didn't install.
You said "try running it in one of the vista modes", but my windows is seven and I run compatibility for seven mode. but it didn't work.
What must I do now?
I hope my question be clear now.

Thanks a lot.
Nima

ok nima,

i know that you have windows 7. sometimes if you have problems with software, you can use the compatibility modes to make the program 'think' it is running on a vista (or xp) machine. you do this by right-clicking and going to the compatibility tab and selecting 'vista sp1', for example.

or you can try right-clicking and use 'troubleshoot compatabilty' - sometimes it makes the program run ok.

sometimes running 'as administrator' works too.

if you have tried all of these, then i'm sorry, i do not what else will help.

good luck.
