Your message is a little confusing to me. It would be nice to explain in more detail what you mean by: A) "you can't get it installed" b) "set it run under the last version of Windows that Legacy would run under and set Legacy to run on it" c) "find the instructions on Microsoft's Windows 7 site"
To my knowledge, installing Legacy onto Win7 has never been a problem. There have been a few isolated cases of getting the UAC properly configured but installing has not been the problem. And I'm not sure if you are talking about running Legacy in a "compatibility mode" or not; I don't think this has ever been needed nor recommended by Legacy's Tech Support. And finally, it would be nice to give a specific URL about finding something on Microsoft's site. Otherwise, it's an overburdening task and request.
