Cannot get past "Error InstalShield Scripting Runtime" When reinstalling game

[jim.mar]

Last winter I reformatted my HD and re-installed Windows 7 (64 bit).   At that time I lost my Flight simulator game that I enjoyed a lot.   Lately I tried to re-install my Flight Simulator game but I get the message "Error  InstallShield Runtime".  Is there a quick fix to this?

What is the exact game you are installing to check on its compatibility?

Is this an installation from Disc or a download off the internet?

Hi DaveLembke.   Thank you for the come back.  The exact name is:       "Microsoft Flight Simulator"   "Deluxe edition".      It is on two DVD's.   

It is one of the software packages that was awarded to me by Microdot for participating in a development program that they had going.  (Which was preempted by "MY Space").         It was not compatible with Windows Vista       but was compatible with Windows 7 which is the OS that I am now using.

GURU: Thank you,   Thank you,  Thank you.          Sorry I am so long in responding.  I have a few health issues.       Today I went to that Microsoft site and was able to fix the problem..        Maybe I can remember to try something that the next time that i have a problem.  Doubtful,  my memory is going south on me.  Anyway, once again you guys have solved my problems.  Good Job.     Happy New year.     JIM
