Installing programs that won't install on Win7 using Setup.exe
Looks like it is time to retire XP. I have some programs that I am quite attached to but they won't install on Win7 using the original disks presumably because the Win7 doesn't like the setup.exe. I have had to move my XP directories and sub directories to the Win7 machine. Since these are all 32bit programs they all work BUT there is no registry support which results in some "inconveniences".
Three questions:
1. Can I use Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit to make the setup.exe compatible so I can do a normal install and get registry support?
2. If not can I use ACT to discover the registry calls and add them to the registry.
3. Most all the info on the ACT is focused toward enterprise. Does anyone know of a tutorial or general instructions for a standalone PC?
Thanks for your help
