    Hello! The software you're referring to ran on old libraries and frameworks that are not compatible with Windows 11. You could use this as an opportunity to give Azure Cloud a go. You can use your free credits to potentially run this software in a Windows 10 virtualized environment.

    Sorry I can't help more,

    In our case, it was a problem with the HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion key, the registered owner and company keys, which Sage harvests during the installation. Having "WHATEVER" for company and "SOMETHING, LLC" for owner broke the installer. It showed up at the end of the MSI error in the log, showing WHATEVER"" after the text of the MSI error.
