See the developers website for compatibility with Windows 7 and if there are updates, corrections or difficulties that might ensure compatibility.
Windows 7 Compatibility Center
Check if your application software or hardware is on the list

Software:

You can also try to run the program in compatibility mode
You can find more information on compatibility modes in the articles below:

The software is designed for an earlier version of Windows such as Windows XP? Most older programs don't work with Windows 7, in particular some programs for Windows XP, can you need to perhaps upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition if you run not an edition and download the Windows XP Mode free program which will allow you run old programs:
Run in Windows XP Mode requires:

MsiExec.exe * 32 keeps trying to install when I start my computer
Hi id75080
Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!
When you get this error? You try to install a program? Or just come to the top when you restart?
Try these steps and check:
Step 1: Stop and restart the Windows Installer Service.
1. click on the Start button or press the Windows keyboard.
2. in the search box, type Services and then click on the Services element that appears at the top.
3. expand the Services window and then scroll down to Windows Installer.
4. right click on the Windows Installer list item and then click on stop, right click again and then click Start.
Step 2: Unregister and re-register Windows Installer.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. click on start and then click Run.
2. in the Open box, type msiexec /unreg and then press ENTER.
3. click on start and then click Run.
4. in the Open box, type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.Step 3: SFC Scan
The SFC utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.
You can still run a sfc on the windows vista computer scan. To run a scan suite sfc as follows:
a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.
b. at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.
NOTE: you must log in using the administrator account and try to install it like that. Or you can also try running the program by right clicking and select "run as Administrator". It should work.
Step 4: Utility Windows Install CleanUp:
Windows Installer CleanUp Utility may be able to help. You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

I can not open Task Manager, and also my favorite programs while there my computer displays no error and continusly to fetch
Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.
According to the description, it seems that you are having problems with the Task Manager and also the programs installed on your computer. I will certainly help you in this matter.
(1) do you use Windows search to find installed programs?
(2) have you tried to open the programs to start > all programs?
(3) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
If the Task Manager does not start, your computer may be a virus. Make sure that you have installed an up-to-date antivirus software on your computer and then search the Microsoft Web site for the latest virus information. If your computer does not have a virus and you are connected to a network, see your system administrator to find out if the task manager has been disabled on your computer.
Step 1: I suggest you to see link and check if it helps.
Troubleshoot Task Manager (applies to Windows 7)
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-Task-Manager-problems
For Manager job number:
Method 1: I suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft security on the computer Scanner and check if it helps.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Note: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.
For the research question:
Method 2: I suggest you follow the steps to run the troubleshooter from the link and if it helps.
Open the troubleshooter for search and indexing
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-search-and-indexing-Troubleshooter
Method 3: I have run the Microsoft FIXIT for the link, and also suggests.

I have a new computer that uses the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
When trying to install a program, I get the following statement about Windows Installer. "This site amenities package could not be opened. "Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer.
The seller said the program should be fine and does not understand why it does not work on my computer.
What should I do to run this program?
Could be a corrupted download, try redownloading again.
