    Mac or Windows, and exactly which version of the operating system?

     

    If Mac, Apple did not maintain backward compatibility, so try this

    If Win10, Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10
    -RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
    -and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions

    thanks for your answer,

    the issue is that i dont run the .exe but the .bat file that was on the installation DVD. the .exe file never worked for me somehow. but the .bat always worked perfektly. 
    and there is no option shown to run the .bat in compaility mode
