Help! Can't get old version to load

I have a copy of FrameMaker 7.0 (yes, it's old) that I am trying to load on my Win 7 computer. I cannot seem to get it to load. It comes up with the AutoPlay screen, allows me to select the option I want, I get the busy icon for a few moments, and then it quits. I have been able to load this same disk onto another Win 7 computer, so I know it is not a compatibility issue. I am almost wondering if they are designed to not work after 10 years. Any ideas? Thanks.

I've got FM7.0 loaded on a Win7 64-bit system, so it does work.

Try copying the install disk over to the hard-drive and then manually run the setup program. Also, use "Run As Administrator" when starting the install.
