Broderbund 15 will not install in windows 7 - Broderbund PrintMaster Platinum 15 Full Version for PC (385502)

The Broderbund PDF converter is a piece of software that is apparently bundled with Broderbund's Print Shop. If you upgraded your OS, you may need to update your Print Shop software. If you did a "clean install" or had your XP operating system saved to an Old Windows directory, it is likely that you will have to reinstall Print Shop in its entirety.

In case it helps, here is an article on someone with a similar issue:

Amyuni Technologies

download pdf995 onto windows 7
http://www.pdf995.com/
it will install there are two files you have to install
once installed it will look like a printer to your program and then print to the pdf995 printer and it will convert whatever you print into a pdf file.

The most important thing to keep in mind about installing Print Shop 22 on any computer is that Print Shop 22 requires that .NET Framework 1.1 be installed on the hard drive before Print Shop 22 is installed. (Print Shop cannot work with any other version of .NET Framework.) So, the first thing that the Print Shop 22 installation process will look for is whether or not .NET Framework 1.1 is installed. If .NET Framework 1.1 is not installed, it will be installed from the Print Shop 22 install disk before Print Shop 22 is installed.

32-bit version of Windows 7:

When a 'clean' install is done of Print Shop 22, exactly as described in this FAQ

'Clean' Install on Win98/Me/XP/2000/Vista/Win7

Print Shop 22 should install on a 32-bit version of Windows 7, with two incidents.

1. The "Program Compatibility Assistant" in Windows 7 will display a message which says that there are compatibility issues with Print Shop 22 on Windows 7 32-bit. To continue with the installation, select "Run Program".

2. At the end of the installation, this message will be displayed




The Amyuni Document Converter mentioned in that message is the Broderbund PDF Converter. This problem can be fixed by downloading and installing the Print Shop 22 Vista patch, which can be found here

I am looking for the Vista compatibility patch.

and which works equally well on Windows 7.

NOTE: Even though the information on that patch site says, "Note: This patch will only work for Vista 32-bit and not the Vista 64-bit operating system," I have confirmed that the patch works quite well on the 64-bit version of both Vista and Windows 7.

It should be noted, however, that when the patch fixes the problem with the Amyuni Document Converter, the Broderbund PDF Creator 3.0 will be installed - instead of the Broderbund PDF Converter, which was installed with WinXP and earlier versions of Windows. The Vista patch installs the Broderbund PDF Creator because the Broderbund PDF Converter is not compatible with either WinVista or Windows 7.

NOTE: One Windows 7 beta user has reported that his DVD drives disappeared after PS 22 was installed on Windows 7 beta 32-bit. This is a known problem with WinVista. So, it would be a very good idea to install the Vista patch BEFORE rebooting the computer.

If your DVD drives disappear after installing Print Shop 22, the only known solution is to uninstall Print Shop 22.

Hello trishnchr324

There is a work around and it's the only way : install a virtual version of XP on your machine .

Broderbund's ClickArt 200,000 Image Pak should install quite easily on a 32-bit version of Windows 7.

64-bit version of Windows 7:

It is not possible to install ClickArt 200,000 Image Pak on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 - because the Setup.exe file is not compatible with any 64-bit Operating System. That is due to the fact that the Setup. exe file contains 16-programming code. 64-bit Operating Systems cannot handle any 16-bit programming code.

Hope this answers your query. Cheers!

You can try version 15 in compatibility mode:

Troubleshoot Compatibility
This can help with some (but not all) programs/drivers:
1) Uninstall the program if it's already installed. Then when you install/reinstall it instead of double clicking on the install file right click it and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility"
2) Then click "Try Recommended Settings" and in the next window click "Start the Program" to install it.
3) After it installs see if it works correctly. Please note - some programs may not be able to run in Windows 7.
More details about how to make older programs run in this version of Windows:

Try to start the installer as administrator, just right click on the drive that the CD is in, and run it as an administrator.

If this doesn't work, open the CD and find the .exe file. double click on it and install it normally.

Apparently no, it does support only Windows 98 / NT 4 / Me / XP. However, here is a thing you can try if a program cannot be run under Windows 7 because of compatibility issues, which is the case with Print Master Platinum 15. You right click on the executable file that will install the application and click Properties. Select Compatibility tab and check Windows XP SP3. If it installs do the same for the EXE file that will run the application. You can find more about this Compatibility issue on Microsoft website: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

Check Broderbund website for an update for Windows 7.
