setup.exe has stopped working

I have seen many people that have gotten this message. But there are
very few that get it when they are trying to install a program. I was
trying to install microsoft web developer express and I've tried
everything and the same thing always happens. It gets almost finished
and then says that setup.exe has stopped working.

Please help me, I am trying to install a game that I have recently
bought. I used to have the game a few years ago, but lost the disc, so I
have bought it again.

As soon as I click "Install", the message pops up, "setup.exe has
stopped working", then it says. " A problem caused the program to stop
working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a
solution is available."

Has anybody experienced this problem before? Or does anybody know how
to fix it?

Contact the game's tech support or look for game user forums. Without
knowing what game, it's impossible to be more specific. Offhand, I'd guess
that the game wasn't designed for Vista. If there are patches/workarounds,
the game mftr.'s tech support people are the go-to guys.

The Game is Command & Conquer: The First Decade. I used to have it on
Vista and used to play so it is nothing to do with that, but thanks
anyway. Ok thanks. I will ring them tomorow, or go back to Game and ask
them about it.

Please can anyone help me? I still have this problem.

What did the game's tech support people say?

I emailed them and they said that they will get back to me as soon as
they have a solution.

I HAVE A SOLUTION...i have had the same problems with setup.exe. I was told the newer programs and games do not support Vista anymore and that microsoft does not support vista anymore either. This means that these programs are setup for xp or something else. What i did was insert the cd in the computer, then went to my computer, right clicked and went to "open". There should be several icons that show up in the window. Look for the icon that has something to do with setup.exe, for me it was setup and had a blue and white icon. I double clicked it and it started to install my game for me. I am not sure if this will help everyone but i think that it will help some. Good luck with vista everyone.

1) What you say is untrue.

2) You are offering a "solution" to someone who posted the problem in
JANUARY OF 2008 and who was given a solution the following month.
