Can't install/run Jane's Longbow sim

[Dave M]

Running XP Home version on my kid's computer. She's got
admin rights. For some reason we can't get Jane's
Longbow Anthology (helicopter game) to install nor run.
When we hit the "setup" icon on the CD, it
says: "Setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application".

Doesn't make sense to me...we used to run it on our
Windows 98 machine all the time.

Any ideas? I tried setting the setup file's properties
to "windows 98 compatibility mode"...but no luck there
either.

Hi Dave,

Give the advice in this article a try, using the original CD:

Even though it's for Microsoft games, the shoe still fits.
