Ducky

Try to right click on the installation file and select the 'Run As
Administrator' option. This will usually allow the program to run.

If you have any other problems with older software programs, find the
programname.exe file for the program, right click that file and select the
Compatibility Tab. You will see an option there to run the program in
'Compatibility Mode' for several previous versions of Windows.
