Installing Quilt-Pro and other programs with 
Windows 7, 8, 10 or Windows Vista

If you are unable to install your Quilt-Pro Systems program on Windows 7 or Windows Vista, the problem is actually with the "auto run" program that starts the installer. Here are two ways to deal with the auto run program so that you can install your software:
 
Solution #1
  
When you insert the disk in the drive, the program should attempt to launch an install wizard for the program automatically. In this case, the AutoPlay dialog box will appear. However, instead of choosing to 'run Autorun.exe' or install the program, you should choose to 'Open folder to view files'. Then locate the program's setup file, called Setup or Setup.exe. Right Click on the file and choose Run as Administrator. When it asks you if you want the program to run, choose Allow.
 
Solution #2

If the AutoPlay dialog box doesn't appear but gives you an error message, click cancel to clear theerror message. Then go to the Start button, click on the Computer icon. Once in the Computer screen, you should see the CD with the program icon. Right-click on the icon and choose 'Explore' or "Open".Then locate the program's setup file, called Setup or Setup.exe. Right Click on the file and choose Run as Administrator. When it asks you if you want the program to run, choose Allow.

I received this from a reader. It may work for you also.
I have WIN 11. It won't even let me open the folder to view the files. There is no option to run as administrator. The information you gave me did help me find a way. I am sharing with you in case someone else has the same issue.
 
Go to Start
Search for Command Prompt
Right click on command prompt and select Run as Administrator
This opens a DOS window
Enter D:\>d:\setup
Have it install to the hard drive (installing to run from the CD does not work.
 
Mine is working fine now.
