[Success] Installing Premiere Pro 2.0 on Windows 10...

Yes, it is an old program and not guaranteed to work on Windows 10-- but it does.  I helped someone having trouble installing Premiere Pro 2.0 on Windows 10 using the Setup.exe file (even with Windows XP SP2 compatibility checked).  BUT what did work was using msiexec and doing a "/quiet" install... to do this, here is what you do:

Step 1.  Copy/Backup your original "Abcpy.ini" file (add a .bak extension).

Step 2.  Now modify your "Abcpy.ini" file in the [OEM Install] section:  Enter your serial #, username, and companyname after the equal sign.

SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

USERNAME=Your Name

COMPANYNAME=Company Name (or you can leave this blank-- not required)

Step 3.  Open a Command Prompt Window as Administrator (right-click -> More -> Run as Administrator).

Step 4.  Change directories to where you extracted the installation files (where the setup.exe is located).

Step 5.  Type the following command:

msiexec /i "Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0.msi" /quiet

Step 6.  Upon running the app, if you get an error about Sound Card Driver not supporting Direct Sound... this is what worked to overcome this:

Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Go to the Recording Tab and enable the Stereo Mix (Realtek Audio Default Device)
