Installing a program in XP mode

I want to install a virtual XP program, but it does not recognize the external DVD drive, while Windows 7 recognizes the DVD player.  I need to run the program and another, in XP mode for work purposes.

If your optical drive is recognized in Windows 7, the host operating system, then we're available in my computer as a drive mapped (resembling a hard drive icon) network.

Click Start > my computer and open one of the mapped network drives listed and you should see the installation for the program files, double-click the setup file to start the installation.

  • Having a problem installing a program. Get the BSOD. Can I try to install in safe mode or in execution of the order?

    Hello.

    For the product that I use, I posted something on the forum of manufacturers. But I have a few questions here, too. It's for video editing.

    I am trying to install a program. He's older, but it does not work with XP (it was pretty well designed for this). He gets by about 75% of the download, says something about the cleaning of the registry, and I get a BSOD.

    I have the latest drivers for the motherboard. I can't install the update of the program until it is installed.

    Can I try to install a dvd in safe mode or through the run command and perhaps get a better result? Or in the back? How can I do this?

    Thank you.

    It works now.

    I have installed directx 10/11 from the dvd - rom of the graphics card. It updated some files. It is XP, and I think that it does only have directx 9. I looked in the term - dxdiag.exe and it says a version 9. Still not working, but has helped.

    I installed the drivers from the cards dvd image. Initially, I took this one from microsoft update. The new graphics card driver seems to have caused conflicts. It is installed.

  • Where install the program - in Windows 7 vs XP Mode

    I put up two personal computers to run a legacy data analysis program that works only on Windows XP.  One running Windows 7 Pro, and I have the program legacy installed in XP Mode without any problem.  However, I need to be able to print to PDF from the analysis software.  I'll use one of my two licenses for Adobe Acrobat X Pro on the second computer, so my question is where to install it on the Windows 7 machine?  I'll be able to print to PDF of program in XP mode, if I install it directly in Windows 7?  Or I have to install Acrobat X Pro in XP Mode (that I prefer to not do, that things run much slower on this side)?  Thank you.

    Why not just use PrimoPDF? It works well. You choose-just like the printer and boom, you have your PDF file. There are a bunch of them out there, but this one works very well.

  • D:/autorun.exe is not a valid win32 application he came up with this error when I try to install a program on a disk and it is really buggin me

    It is in these exact words and it's annoying me like crazy can help pleae somone

    Hello

    Thank you for joining Microsoft Community!

    According to the description, it looks like you get the autorun.exe when installing a program on a disk.

    However, we need more information to help you better.

    Please help me answer this question.

    1. is the particular problem with a particular program?

    2. is the specific issue when installing a program on a particular CD?

    3. what program are you trying to install?

    4. What antivirus do you use?

    The probable cause for this error 'not a 32-bit application valid' can have several causes:

    I have listed some of them below.

    The file is corrupted, bad or missing.

    a. If the hard drive is damaged or badly it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.

    b. If you run the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.

    File is not designed for your version of Windows:

    a. If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.

    b. Although numerous older programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.

    c. If the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you get this error.
    d. If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

    File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.

    a. this error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.

    (b) if the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program, start the computer in

    Safe mode will ensure that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.

    Hardware incompatibility.

    a. If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or has drivers that are not compatible with Windows.

    b. download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

    Provide us with more information on the issue to provide a better solution.

  • Windows Vista (32 bit) stops responding after installing the program...

    Hello.

    Recently, my Dell XPS M1530 (Windows Vista 32-bit) has been extinguished during the execution of the system updates (we had a power outage during the night and I didn't) and would only start in safe mode. I moved all my documents on a portable HARD drive and reinstalled the operating system to try to save the computer.

    After I did that and reinstalled the drivers (downloaded from the Dell site via my system identification label), I started to load my programs on it (Adobe, Microsoft Office, etc.). After I install a program and exit the installation window, Vista stops responding. I can't click on the Start button (the mouse will go over it, but it does not allow me to select) or one of the other button I have in my toolbar. I can't click anything in the Dock of Dell at the top of my screen, either.

    The only way to turn off the computer must press and hold the Power button until the laptop turns off. I HATE doing this, but there is no other way to turn it off once a program has been installed.

    Any thoughts on what is happening here? I hope this is just some kind of error on my part - I can't afford to get a new machine. I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7 (my machine can handle), but I don't want the same problem occurs.

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hello

    As you re-installed Windows and the problem persists the rules well enough software. The power
    failure should be accompanied by a power surge or other that has caused a problem in the computer.

    Makes it sound like there are hardware problems that can probably be repaired. Have you looked at the system
    by a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a Best Buy or other stores) or Support of Dell.

    Hello bkfarmer,

    You can try the Mode of compatibility as below:
    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP or other system that the program has been run successfully operating.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and run the program compatibility problems:

    1. open the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    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.

    I hope this helps.

    Do you have an idea what is happening with my computer and what I can do to fix this?

    Thank you very much!

    Hi deacon829,

    You did changes to the computer before that happened?

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, to do this, follow the steps below,

    Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2: If you try to install any application before this program, try to uninstall them.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    If this solves the problem, you can deduct that the demand is probably corrupted, damaged or incompatible. You can check with the manufacturer of the program for more information.

    Step 3: System Restore: System Restore to put the computer's system files to an earlier point in time.

    Look for steps to restore of the system in the link below:

  • "You must be logged in as an administrator to install this program" error when I AM logged on as administrator. possible problem with TrustedInstaller security

    I am logged in as administrator on the single computer.  I try to install Net Nanny, which claims to be compatible Windows 7.
    The first time I tried to install it I got the error, simply, 'access denied '.  After several attempts with the same error, I rebooted in Mode safe mode with network and then got the error that the Windows Installer Service is not accessible.  After some research, I discovered that Windows Installer is not available in safe mode.
    So I booted in Normal mode.  Logged as administrator.  Tried to click with the right button on the installer downloaded for Net Nanny and ran as administrator, the connection of the administrator.  Now I get the error, "You must be logged in as administrator to install this program."  I am.
    I closed all firewalls, anti-virus software AND turn off the UAC.  I checked the compatibility AND security for the download tab and it is configured to run as administrator and I tried to run in several modes of compatibility.  I still don't "You must be logged in as administrator to install this program."  No matter what I try, I still get this error.
    I used the command prompt, type msiexec.exe / unregister, and then msiexec/regserver.  No new results.  Still the same error.

    I called Net Nanny press SEVERAL times and they will know that this is a Windows problem, because this is the first time that they already got this error.  They had me to download another file on a mirror site.  Not always the same error.  People what I'm doing wrong?  I was able to successfully install other software.  Thanks for any help!

    UPDATE * I am researching always this.  This would be a TrustedInstaller security problem?  If this is the case, is it possible to fix the TrustedInstaller or turn it off?  The big question, is that I want to turn it off?  My first thought is 'no '.  However, this software is listed on the Microsoft site as being compatible with Windows 7.  Therefore, an application that is 3rd party that is accepted by Microsoft.  Wow, I'm confused.  Don't know what to do here.

    Hello carpetfresh,

    A test, I temporarily disable user account control and then see if you can install Net Nanny. If so, we know that UAC is what is causing the problem with the installation.

    1. access control panel user to the Start Menu-> Control Panel-> user accounts and of security for the family-> user account

    2. click on the settings of the user account controll link.

    3. move the slider to never notify

    4. click OK for the changes to take effect

    5 reset.

    Once you have correctly installed the Net Nanny, then back to the control panel and reactivate the UAC.

    Answer please come back and let us know.
