Ford Cd's
I have the ford iso cd's for 1999 & 2002 on my xp machine. Trying to install on win 7. When I click on install says program is incompatible. Also using winrar370.
Is it the iso file or winrar, 7 doesn't like. Or am I screwing something else up.
Thanks.

It's Win 7 that's the problem if its the 64 bit version.
I had to install a VMware virtual machine on my Win 7-64 laptop, then install Win XP on the VM, then install the Ford CDs in that environment. It took some work to set up, but I have all the CD & DVD ISOs installed (as virtual disks) and it now works great.
This would be a good reason to keep an old XP machine around without connecting it to the internet.

did you try compatibility mode? with windows 7 (pro, ultimate, or enterprise), you can also run xp mode without going through the trouble of installing vmware. and you get the virtual app ability so you can still launch the program from your win 7 start menu.

Waitiing for the answer, I remembered I got one off Ebay. It was just plain bad. I gave it away.
There are some out there for my 97, but I don't trust anything now, unless it's from Ford.
