Installing Older Programs on Vista

[rolandcorral]

can you please tell us how to fix the problem? This is happening on all my suite programs. microstudion v 3.004, vogone v3.102, KHP V4.105 and keyrite v2.011. These are all older versions but I want to know if I can do something to my laptop vista so I can install the suite. I cant afford the $100 upgrade.

I moved your post to a new thread. The one you chose to post in was very old (2007) and not relevant to the programs you are asking about.
These older versions were not designed to work on Vista or Windows 7.

What exactly is the problem you are having?
Do they install?
If they install what errors are you getting in the programs?

Doesn't really pertain to the problem, however i'd be curious if the older programs would work with Win 7 Pro. I had several programs that were made for XP & earlier that absolutely would not work on Vista Pro, but DO work perfectly with Win 7 Pro - supposedly has an XP emulator.

I'm getting the message error that the other post was under.. "error 0x80040702" failed to load DLL: _ismtu, I followed another thread that said mtu found a solution and fixed the problem but I guess they fixed it on an update but they don't have the updates for these old versions any more so I need to see if there's a way I can fix it manually on my end. I can't really afford the upgrade. , i tried installing as administrator and setting to xp compatability mode and it didn't work.

All I have found on this in the forum are referring to this problem with Hoster and you are correct it was fixed with an upgrade. Hoster 3.316 was the first version capable of being loaded on Vista. All the other programs were updated after this was resolved on Hoster.
Try making the following changes in this link to the laptop and see if this will allow them to install. If not then an upgrade is going to be the only way to fix it.

The main thing in this is Vista's security measures that caused all kinds of havoc for everyone. Which may be why it won't allow the installs. Hope this works.

Microsoft had to make some changes to their security, because of all the uproar over Vista's security that was creating havoc with all software...including their own.
