Question

Error message: Cannot execute the specified program

May 18, 2012 9:18AM PDT

Have new computer w windows 7. Trying to reinstall a sierra software program called visual home which I have used in the past to build and remodel different homes. It is easy to use and for an amateur that is extremely important. I am getting the message can not execute the specified program. Please help as I hate to loose access to this program. Thanks, Jen

If so it is unlikely to be compatible with Windows 7.

XP included some 95/98 support.

With Windows 7, it's finally gone. Such things must be removed as it's a security issue. Folk write bad things to exploit such.

Ask the maker if they have patch, fix or workaround.
