Hi - The only way it worked for me was as follows...
I) Create a Photoshop folder on your hard drive i.e. Drive C - Adobe - Photoshop 7
2) Copy all files from your CD to this folder - drag & drop
3) Start Windows 10 in 'safe mode'
4) Open the new folder and click on the .exe file
Photoshop 7 should now load without a hitch - then restart normally and run the programme.

I have my old standby Photoshop 7.0 32 bit and have used it as far as Win 8.1 64 bit, but the Setup.exe file will not execute on Windows 10 64bit, any suggestions?
I've tried compatibility mode starting at Win XP SP2 and up and no luck. The ironic part is I had to exchange this computer that I purchased 3 weeks ago. I had no problem installing it on the previous one (win 10) by using task manager to kill the process (which the icon never even shows up in the status bar) and choosing to run it in compatibility mode ... and it worked) HELP, I have CS3 but for what I do now (retired) it's too robust and much more complicated then what I know like the back of my hand.
