Unable to install Microsoft Train Simulator

[xylophone3]

Does anyone own MSTS? I inserted my Train Simulator disk and it doesn't install. It does nothing at all. So I went to the compatibility website (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Microsoft%20Train%20Simulator&v=Microsoft&uid=1&pf=0&pi=5&c=PC%20Gaming&sc=Simulation%20%26%20Driving&os=64-bit) and it says it's incompatible with Windows 7. I was under the impression that other people were running the game with Win7.

Has anybody experienced the same thing and overcame this or is it the end for MS Train Simulator?

I tried compatability mode for Win 98/ME and Win 95. I checked all five boxes: 256 colors, 640 x 480 colors, disabling visual themes, desktop composition, and scailing DPI settings. It still does the same thing unfortunately. So I ran the "Troubleshoot Compatability" program and the results after running it was that the setup.exe file is incompatible Application. I must've overlooked something.
