I have been using Microsoft Digital Image Suite Anniversary Edition on my computer running Win. 10. However a factory reset removed it. In trying to reinstall, I get the message the IE6 is needed to run it.  Is there anyway I can continue to use this software with my Win10 64 bit platform? This program has been phenomenal  for the past 12 years and I want to continue with it rather than switch to another photo editing program.

    Joan,

    I read your post and felt like you- very frustrated and really mad at Microsoft !!! I have also used Microsoft Digital Image Suite 10 for many years and rely on it as it works better than anything I've ever used and it is user friendly.  I had the same problem where I couldn't reinstall Windows Digital Image Suite 10 after I wiped my computer clean and installed Windows 10. I have used Digital Image Suite for many years and loved it - I was so frustrated it no longer worked.  When I tried to reinstall Image Suite 10 I got an error message that it isn't compatible with 64 bit - but it had worked on 64 bit in previous versions of Windows..... After searching online I found this information from someone else. I tried it and it worked !!! The following bypasses the problem you were having where you can't try compatibility mode because the program is stopped before it is loaded.

    I think this works because it tricks your computer into thinking it is already installed and just modifies it to be compatible with Windows 10.... Here is the info from some other very smart and computer savvy person:

    Install Microsoft Digital Image Suite on Windows 10

    * First close all running programs and open documents.

    * Double click on the Digital Image Suite setup file from you original disk.

    * If the User Account Control prompts you to give permission, just authorize it.

    * Select a few options available. When it says “The Windows Update: Internet Explorer and Internet Tools cannot be installed on this computer. This product does not install on 64-bit platforms.” message, click OK button to continue.

    * You will get the second usual error “Setup has detected that Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 installation was not completed. The installation may have been cancelled, or you may not have enough free space on your disk.” Don’t click it.

    Return to your desktop, press the Win+X (Windows symbol on your keyboard +X) from your keyboard, click on Shut down or sign out > Sign out.

    * Window 10 wait for intervention and cannot carry the operation. Wait a few seconds to sign in again, click on Cancel button > OK. Now the installation runs well.

    This worked for me, but when you click to sign out, wait a few seconds then click cancel, do not sign out.

    When the screen comes back, click OK on error display. Then installation finishes.

    Hola, robertMCConnell2, estoy tratando de resolver el mismo problema y de acuerdo a lo que indica JanAntal el 8 de julio, puedo entender que se puede instalar el programa en una máquina Virtual, por ejemplo "Oracle VM VirtualBox", .. después de instalarla y verla funcionar, instalas Total Uninstall y respaldas o haces una copia de seguridad, ...

    Después de volver a instalar MDI 2006 en win10, y repite la instalación, se supone que así funciona. Hay que probar ... Saludos ..

    Actualización ... no me convenció usarlo en el emulador y seguimos intentando instalarlo, después de varios intentos para lograrlo ...

                                ------------------------

    Instale Microsoft Digital Image Suite en Windows 10

    * Primero cierre todos los programas en ejecución y abra documentos.

    * Haga doble clic en el archivo de configuración de Imagen Digital Suite de su disco original.

    * Si el control de cuentas de usuario le solicita que autorice, solo autorícelo.

    * Seleccione algunas opciones disponibles. Cuando dice "La actualización de Windows: Internet Explorer y las herramientas de Internet no se puede instalar en esta computadora. Este mensaje no se instala en las plataformas de 64 bits". Haga clic en el botón Aceptar para continuar.

    * Recibirá el segundo error habitual "El programa de instalación detectó que no se completó la instalación de Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0. Es posible que la instalación se haya cancelado o no haya tenido suficiente espacio libre en su disco". No haga clic en él.

    Vuelva a su escritorio, presione Win + X desde su teclado, haga clic en Apagar o cerrar sesión> Cerrar sesión.

    * La ventana 10 espera la intervención y no puede llevar a cabo la operación. Espere unos segundos para iniciar sesión nuevamente, haga clic en el botón Cancelar> Aceptar. Ahora la instalación funciona bien.

    >>> Gracias por los consejos <<<<<
