Does anyone know of a good work around to install older software on Vista? I've tried the compatibility feature and the install hangs during updates system files?
Here's the reason i'm trying and the software:
Its a Real Estate contact manager program called Top Producer 6. They have an updated version (version 7i) that is internet based and not desktop based. Before anyone responds, just get the updated version: That is not a real possibility because I am dealing with over 10,000 contacts, 1,000 letters, and over 15,000 phone numbers and I do not look forward to waiting for contact details or letters to download. (There has been complaints about there servers during peak times and plus i'm tired of software companies trying to make everything web based--- Our MLS switched over a year ago and it is the worst thing to happen because it is slow and un-predictable...
Anyway, does anyone know how to fool an install program into thinking Vista Ultimate is Windows XP (better yet 98 )??? All other software was able to install (adobe, MS, and web ware). (this is not a bash MS/Vista Thread!!!)
I doubt many people use this exact software but if anybody has any links or hints that have worked for other programs, maybe I can figure out how to get this to install.
No possible solution is too stupid for me to try.
Thanks for any help!!!! BC
