Hello, Randy.
I thought the same earlier, but it looks files are packed to special archive (maybe encrypted or unusually compressed), and only exe could unpack them, prior to installing.
Just see post#2 : there are no visible content directories and files in them.
Problem installing (from CD) 'old' MSTS content for use in OR
"This app can't run on your PC" error message

THAT WORKED! Wonderful. Thank you very much for pointing me to that generic installer for the InstallShield 3 setup.exe.

The problem was that the original installer was a 16-bit executable. (Think pre-Windows 95!) 16-bit executable support has been removed on 64-bit versions of Windows—Windows 64-bit supports 64-bit and 32-bit executables. So, 16-bit executives cannot be made to "just work" under any circumstances.
Replacing the installer with a 32-bit version that can read the installation directives and do the same work is a sublime solution. Were that not available, an older computer with a 32-bit operating system or a virtual machine using a 32-bit operating system could get it to work.
