Hi Brilaramee,

What version of hero you are trying to read?

You can check the link given below to check if the version you have is compatible with Windows 7 or not.

If the version is not compatible with Windows 7 according to the link given above, you try to install the same in the previous version of Windows compatibility mode and check if that helps.

To run the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter

  1. Open the program compatibility problems by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type Troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click run programs made for previous versions of Windows.
  2. Follow the instructions contained in the resolution of the problems.

If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

For more information follow the link below.
