Photoshop Album won't install on new Windows 10 computer

[robertt93700632]

I still have the original Photoshop Album CD and am trying to do an install on my new Windows 10 desktop.  I had the program working OK on my old Windows 7 desktop but the new one says it doesn't support the program and the install fails.  I see on the Adobe website that it's registered there, but no support is available for that program any longer.  By the way, I have the original Photoshop Elements 2.0 CD and I was able to install it successfully.  Is there any way to get Album to install and work on my Windows 10 machine?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

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

-or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... this says Encore, but is sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account) so follow the instructions, substituting the name and location of your specific program for Encore

John: Your compatibility check idea worked!  The program installed and seems to run OK.  Thanks for the help.

Thank you, John.  I had the same problem, tried your advice and it worked.
