Install program via CD

Vista does not have a "run" option that I can find, like Windows XP & Windows
2000 have. I cannot install a program my son sent me - can you help?

You can access the Run command by pressing <WIN_LOGO_KEY>+<R>

Alternatively, you can add the run command back to your start menu by following this tutorial : Run command

Re: Install program via CD

find the installer, right click and select run as administrator
on the right click menu for an .exe file, open should do what run used to
