Hi there , 

It seems you are having trouble with compatibility of Windows XP applications or programs in WIndows 7 , usually windows XP 32 bit apps or programs easily run on windows 7 32 bit programs , you are having windows 7 64 bit . 

Just try the windows 7 compatibility feature which is unique to windows 7 and not in windows vista.

1. Right click on the setup file which you want to install.

2. Click properties .

3. A dialog box appears , in that select the compatibility tab. 

4. In the tab select run this program in compatibility mode for windows XP service pack 2 or 1 or 3 .

5. Click apply and ok

6. Run the setup now.
