Hi,
I get an error when i try installing a software on Windows 7 64 bit OS. The software is compatible with 32bit Windows XP or Vista:
"KB893803v2 Setup Error
---------------------------
This KB893803v2 is for a different hardware platform."I tried using the compatibility mode but in vain.
Any suggestions?

Hi gitean,
Thank you for your post in MSDN forum.
After I have researched your concern, I found that KB893803-v2-x86 is included in Windows Installer 3.1. Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable supports Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or later, Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003.
I would recommend that you could install Windows Installer 4.5 on Vista or Windows 7 and try it again.
Please check the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4&displaylang=en
Frankly speaking, if you have any issues about Windows Installer, you could also consult your concern in Windows Installer forum.

Thanks Larcolais..but it didnt work on Windows 7.
I tried installing Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-x86.msu on Windfows 7 but it didnt allow saying ~ "This installation is not applicable for your system" and I couldnt find any other compatible installer for Windows 7 in the above link that you provided.
