When i try to run the Autorun.exe or the Setup.exe inside x64 folder, it gives me the same message as below:

Setup cant find or validate an installation file. Please try reinstalling Office form for your installation source, or if you installed from a downloaded package then re-download and install. If you continue to have problems then please contact Microsoft or system administrator.

I have tried to run in compatibility mode also. I have a Windows 10 running on 64 bit processor.

please help.

I noticed that the autorun file is from 2009 and originally made to run on windows XP? is there anyway to get a new autorun file? I am currently in an area with very limimted internet access and it took me a day to download this file so it would be very inconvenient if i have to download an entirely new program again. i would appreciate your help very much. Thanks,
 PS i also ran it with winRAR and followed all your previous instructions

I doubt that the program (or the setup of it) doesn't work on WIndows 10.   Have you tried the suggestion from my previous post ? Other than that, we'll need to wait what the OP says about this, hence I can't suggest much more at this point.

If i may make a suggestion, add an extra instruction to the installation guide and say that before you attempt any installation you have to first turn of windows defender (and similar programs) i know you mentioned this in another forum but maybe just add it to the installation guide. If you try to install it before turning it off it doesn't only block the program but removes certain "malware" which then makes it impossible to install even if you then turn off windows defender! 

Thanks for the support, i look forward to being a long time member if this community!

Thanks for sharing your insights with us @LourieVS.   However, in order to add something to the installation guide we would need to take down the torrent completely and re-upload it. Which would be quite a hassle, to be honest. What we can do, however, is to put a little notice in our Fixes (PC)-section, and direct users to that notice if needed. 

Thanks again for you feedback, in that sense.
