How to execute 16-bit installer on 64-bit Win7?

Question

I am trying to install Sheridan controls (ActiveThreed 2.01) on Win7 64-bit, but evidently it is a 16-bit installer so it won't execute.

What would be the best way to get round this problem?

Can anyone comment on whether http://homepage3.nifty.com/takeda-toshiya/msdos/index.html would be helpful?

I posted some information on the Infragistics forums for designer widgets that may help you for this. You can view the post with the following link:

Note that the registry keys would be different for the different product and you may need to install on a 32 bit machine to see what keys you need.
