Might help.

Good Luck.

I thought that there was away to get it to work. From memory if you select the install file in file manager/windows explorer, move the cursor, select the install file (one click) and then right click you get a choice to install it as if the operating system was Win 95. I vaguely recall it worked for me but I can't remember for sure as it was a long time ago.
