install an outdated accounting package on a Windows 7 PC, compatibility mode install for quantum accounting

install an outdated accounting package on a Windows 7 PC, compatibility mode install for quantum accounting

for the first time , in the last 5 years, my years' hard-study knowledge finally got used. well, blush... blush MS desktop technician

install the quantum accounting package, pop in the small-factor CD, the installer complained that service pack 5 is required.

oh dear , what service pack 5? .... pulling my hair, open cd content , right-click on the installer, select compatibility mode, select compatible with NT4 service pack 5

woola, that worked, I can't belive this , there are other bits like install the license file and update to the later version to open the data file.
