Dave S,

Did the error message also present a digit error code; a digit error code can help narrow down what is causing the issue.

An internet search gives two possible solutions, an operating system function the installation program needs is not available or there is a problem with the installation path.

Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 don't include many of the files present in the 32 bit version of Windows XP. Instead the operating systems mimic or emulate functions the removed files performed. It may be that functions the 2008 Band-in-a-Box for Windows requires during installation are not present in Windows 10.

When you right click on the 2008 Band-in-a-Box for Windows installation program what happens when you select the "troubleshoot compatibility" wizard? A box with two options should appear; "Try Recommended Settings" and "Troubleshoot Program". What happens when you try recommended settings?
