This is the second time I've tried today and both times, it gets stuck on this Installing Time Remaining: 0 Seconds screen. What can I do?

Correct answer John T Smith

Windows (at least up to version 10) has been good about compatibility with old programs

 

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10 (and MAYBE Windows 11 ?)
-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
