Cannot install Flash Compression in Windows 7

**Mariah-Simpson** · 10-02-2010

I have recently upgraded my system from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I am having a problem after upgradation with this software called Flash Compression. The situation is that I cannot install Flash Compression in Windows 7. When I start the setup, I get a message saying that "Error: This setup is not for this operating system". I cannot understand why this is happening. Please help me with some solutions that I can use in this case.

If you cannot install Flash Compression in Windows 7, then this is an incompatibility issue. This is why you are getting that particular error on starting the installation. This is why it is always suggested to quit installation or upgradation to Windows 7. It is better to use Windows Vista, since there are no problems with this operating system and the features are the same as Windows 7.

I guess that you are using an old version of Flash Compression because of which you cannot install Flash Compression in Windows 7. The new versions are made with the care that they must run in all the operating systems available in the market. The older versions of the software were not made with that purpose. But now, the developers are keeping the same in mind.

The problem that you cannot install Flash Compression in Windows 7 can be solved using a dual boot system. This means that you will have to install another operating system in your computer. Just make sure that you install it in another drive, that is not the "C drive". I suggest you to select Windows Vista for the same. So, whenever you get any incompatibility problem, you can load into Windows Vista by restarting the system.
