Vista - Installing Legacy Program

08-16-2009

I am trying to install an old program that allows me to change icons. I
run setup.exe as an administrator and the program installs. However,
in the GUI, the program's icons do not show up. All the other
functions work fine. Suggestions to a complete install?

Try installing it in compatibility mode.
Right-click the setup.exe and select Properties.
On the Compatibility tab there are various options about installing
as XP, Win98 etc., whatever worked before.
