The version of this file is not compatible
March 31st, 2010
with the version of Windows you’re running.
Grr!! Windows 7 Ultimate 64!!
I have a ton of legacy applications that I use on a regular basis. Micrografx Simply 3D, oldschool Bryce 3D, Alien Skin plugins, etc.
When I got this new machine, I tried to install them only to receive the error “The version of this file is not compatible…” I tried using the recommended “compatibility settings”, no love. Nothing worked.
After doing some searching I stumbled upon the fix.
Install Windows XP virtual machine.
Works like a charm!
Here’s a link!

Hope this helps someone!
