Trying to install my AutoCAD LT 2002 old on my laptop with Windows Vista.

What should I do to install my old AutoCAD LT 2002 software on my new laptop which uses Windows Vista Home Premium?  Is this possible?

Windows Vista Compatibility Center

First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
It works for some programs, but not all.

This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

Virtual PC 2007

Download the full version of Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.

Buy and install a Windows operating system earlier (XP, Windows 2000) in the above Virtual Machine and try to run your program in that.
Vista Home Premium is not supported by Microsoft using Virtual PC above, but Virtual PC will work in it.

See you soon.
