Microsoft Digital Image Suite on Win 10

Hi Joan,

When trying to make an older program work in Windows 10, it is unlikely that it will work as expected unless you upgraded to Windows 10 with the program already installed on your PC. The only workaround that I can suggest is to install the program. and then try to run it in compatibility mode.

Here's how:

1. Right-click on the program, and then select Properties.
2. Go to the Compatibility tab.
3. Check the box for Run this program in compatibility mode for.
4. Click the drop-down menu, and then select older versions of Windows. Whichever works.
5. Click Apply, and then OK.

Additionally, I suggest that you run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter.

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Go to Troubleshooting > Programs.
3. Under Programs, click on Program Compatibility Troubleshooter, and then go through the troubleshooter.

Let us know how it turns out.

I tried to do what you suggested but since it won't even install the program at all I cannot try what you said.  It starts, gets half way and then 12 hours later is not finished installing and I have to cancel the installation. 

Just tried again and got this error: "The Windows Update: Internet Explorer and Internet Tools cannot be installed on this computer.  This product does not install on 64-bit platform."

So I have not been successful. 

I did find the program listed on my pc under program files (x86) and right clicked it and tried to "restore previous versions" but no luck there either since my computer was reset to factory specs.

Guess I'm out of luck in using that program!

Hi Joan,

You can try emulating to IE6 by following these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Hit F12 key
3. Go to Emulation.
4. Under User agent string, choose Internet Explorer 6.

Note: Once again right click on your installer and hen run it in compatibility with Windows XP as we suggest, that is where IE 6 is compatible.

Let's see if that works out. However if you want to download IE 6, unfortunately, there's no downloadable file available on any of our official websites.

Hope it helps. If you have any other concern, don't hesitate to come back to us.

The only way I got around the IE6 issue was to use a Virtual Machine windows XP version and installed it that way.

I then transferred the file after installation to a usb and placed in my programs x86 since its a 32 bit application.

I tried to set up compatibility mode to an early version and to no avail nothing pops up 

It does work on my VM Windows XP so i know the file is not corrupt.

Not sure if there is a workaround for this now but anything I haven't tried let me know
