Can't install on Windows 7

Hello everyone I know this might seem to exist somewhere but I have done a search through all forums and technical issues I've not got a hit for this. I'm trying to install the game on Windows 7 on a PC that it can be ran on at least based on system requirements. When I click on setup I keep getting the not compatibility message.

This is my parents computer and as far as I know everything is correct for the system requirements but I keep getting this problem I also try to run in compatibility mode which doesn't work either. I need some help trying to get this installed so when I do visit I can play it or my mom can play it and see if she likes it and play with my wife and I.

I downloaded it from fileplanet's site and it doesn't have a different download for any of the windows just one file. And I really don't want to have to download it from another site with how long it took me to download it this first time. So any assist would be very helpful.

Thank you,
Niles Draconia

    I am on a Windows 7 64-bit and I had no problems installing. The problem may not be the OS.

    1. Have you unzipped the downloaded folder? It won't run if you don't.

    2. Run as an Admin. Windows 7, as far as I know, acts like Vista when installing and running programs (unfortunately).

    also if you have done the above then the fiels have been corrupted so you may need to download again.

    This game works perfect in win 7 x64 as thats what im using.

    Deffo sounds like a generic message you get if an exe is corrupt..

    Thank you everyone. I guess I'll have to re-download it or bring a copy of it from my house. I downloaded zip software as it says that window's unzip thing would only corrupt it but the thing doesn't seem to be zipped and won't let me unzip. so I I'm going to have to assume that it's corrupt thank you everyone again.
