The Meaning of Life on Vista

Hello everyone. I'm a new guy, and mostly looking for a quick fix to what I hope should be a simple problem.
For nostalgia purposes I'm trying to play the notoriously bug-ridden game Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Trying to install it, however, I'm treated to the message "Program requires Windows NT 4.0 service pack 3 or higher". Now from what little I know about this, it seems like my brand new laptop should probably have "higher", right?
Does anyone know what's going on here, and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Windows Vista and Windows NT are different OS platforms.
Even though Vista has alot of NT in it, it will not run NT software straight out of the box.
Look at the manual for the game to find what OS work with it.
It will probable not mention windows 95, ME or any similar OS.

Try using compatibility mode to get past the installer. But as previously mentioned, it's old software, don't expect it to run flawless if at all.
