TIS on Windows 7 64 Bit PC

Some years ago I bought a copy of the TIS workshop manual when my wife had a mini. It worked fine at the time but then I had an older PC running Windows XP. Now I've just bought a Z4MC I thought I try and load it onto my new PC, Windows 7 64Bit. The problem is it doesn't install when I run the setup.exe file.

I know this is more of a PC question than a car question, but does anybody know if TIS does work in Windows 7?

Thanks,

Mike
 
Tried running it in compatibility mode but still just seem to sit there and do nothing. :(

I'll check with the IT guys at work tomorrow about Microsoft Virtual PC, see if they can help me out.

Does anybody know if a hard copy of a workshop manual exists, something like a Haynes manual?
 
It's called XP mode actually

Most use the online version
