Windows 7 XPMode Can't Install CD Software App
I am running XPMode on Windows 7 for legacy applications. The PC does not have a CD drive. I have OEM software on CD but it will not install from an external USB CD drive. If I copy the whole CD onto desktop of XPMode and try to install from there it still won't install. The self install exe doesn't run and when I go to the Disk1 folder and try and run the Setup.exe file a popup window with the complete path to Setup.exe is listed and reports 'The parameter is incorrect'.
I suspect the path name is too long? The application is an older one for native Windows XP machine.
Thanks for any advice.
