My Windows 7 doesn't seem to like the executable. The install

... another thought. Are you running 64 bit Win7 ?

That could be the reason... it runs in 32 bit installed.

Curious



Yep, I've got 64-bit Win7. I even tried closing my firewall, anti-virus,
and Spybot. No dice.

The install process (run as Administrator) starts up with np-120.exe
showing up in the processes list, along with setup.exe. But no CPU
resources are being used, and the program stalls dead. Also tried running
it under "compatibility mode" for WinXP and Win98.

I have other 32-bit programs that work just fine running under 64-bit.
Maybe NewsProxy isn't one of the "compatible" ones. Microsoft's
Compatibility website doesn't list NP at all.

I'm not sure that NP is fully 32 bit. It may have some 16 bit coding?
The files are dated 1999. 64 bit handles files much differently -
likely the reason it will not run.
