Answer #1
i am still on xp , idk much about vista or 7 but , did you try to “run it as administrator” ?
Answer #2
i usually encounter that problem when running a portable app for xp and vista in win7 so try having a version of your installer compatible for win 7
also try running the app under compatibility options and select vista or xp
Answer #3
That is most likely a registry error IMO.you can try a program called regcleaner to see if you have those problems.
you should download the ‘setup.exe’ again and run it.it will run then.
this applies to your other games etc too.Download their exes again and they’ll work.
Answer #4
Ive had those sort of problems before, usually with the newer type games, like the new Medal Of Honor, using the autorun.exe it says that i need 32 or 64bit OS
Other problems like urs, u could try running that crysis.exe i see there, if that doesnt work, try extracting that setup.exe and place those files in that folder, that sometimes works.
Answer #5
you need the latest version of install shield wizard.
Answer #6
Try running the EXE as an administrator. If that doesn’t work, download the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.6

and try running the EXE under one of it’s many compatibility settings.
