I've been trying to install ACL3.0 ( 3.0.1.0) for some time on my W10pC. I have installed MAGIX Movies on CD & DVD 4.0 no problem.
The Wise installation runs and seems to complete from dvd but when I run the shortcut to the exe or the exe itself I get a 'user account control window ' popping up with the 'unknown publisher' stuff , I click yes , the screen goes black for a second and then reverts back to the desktop. The PC specs are at the foot of this message. I am fairly sure I had it installed last year but have migrated / updated my hard drive to a ssd.
I have tried all the compatibility versions.
Any ideas please ?
Thanks in advance

Ok, of course there is no guarantee, that a software that is twenty years old, will still run on a modern system.
To check for possible causes please install Process Monitor from Microsoft. This tool will record all processes on your computer. After you start it, you first need to stop the recording or you will get a list with hundreds of thousands records in seconds. Firstly, add a filter for the process name, enter the name of the Audio Cleaning Lab 3 exe file. Now Process Monitor will only show records of what happens with ACL 3. Secondly, start recording and run the program. After it crashes stop the recording. Now we can check the entries for ACL 3. The last entries in the list should hopefully give us an idea why the crash is happening.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I have attached the bottom section of the PM report though not sure what they all mean.
There are a few 'file locked', 'name not found' 'FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS' 'buffer overflow' in the list above.
The installer and program is not compatible with Windows 10 due to significant changes in the operating system and its components which both the installer and program use.
If you could get ACL 3 installed it would have display issues - wing.dll is an old graphics api that is no longer distributed with modern versions of Windows, nor can it be installed on Windows 10.

I don't think that ACL3 needs it for its graphics because wing.dll was long abandoned even before ACL3 was released
. . . .
ACL 3 was only certified for Windows 95 to XP, however I did have it running on Windows 8 back in 2016, however it would not run on Windows 10.
Given that

processor is at most 4 years old, and the integrated GPU supports DirectX 12, wing.dll would be is very unlikely to support this modern GPU.
