Discus and support Running Windows 7 Spider Solitaire in Windows 10 in Windows 10 Gaming to solve the problem; I just installed Windows 10 yesterday and I'm not really familiar with it yet so it's probably an issue with my ignorance.

    I had these Win7 games installed on a Win8.1 Notebook and just a bit ago finished the Upgrade to Win10 Home. It kept the games and they work fine.

    Interesting I find a folder there but the entire sub-folder for Spider Solitaire is 916 KB - no wonder the exe won't launch. None of the other games will launch either even though, for instance, Purble Place is 36.7 Mb.

    Running Windows 7 Spider Solitaire in Windows 10

    FWIW, after upgrading to Win 10 today I downloaded the msi from post #2. Installation failed because Norton Security objected. No joy.

    Curious what happens after you disable Norton. Or better yet, get rid of it. I've given up on the Windows 7 games for now. Back to playing Snood for mindless entertainment and time-wasting.

    After disabling, installation proceeds but, for example, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\SpiderSolitaire\en-US is empty!

    I get a similar experience but my Spider Solitaire folder is 916 Kb bigger than yours....still not enough to launch. Some of the threads I've seen say that MS is going to include the Windows 7 games with Win 10 - maybe in future updates. I dunno. I haven't yet seen any compelling reason why I should have "upgraded" except for the fun of the experience.

    Did you guys 'unblock' the files in Properties?

    radiojer, did you download the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version. Your System Specs don't reveal which version of Windows but the 64-bit can run 32-bit programs [but not the other way around], just have to look in C:\Program Files (x86) for the presence of the 32-bit programs.

    Running Windows 7 Spider Solitaire in Windows 10

    Thank you, I originally did this and it was working fine for the last few weeks. This week, Windows 10 did some updates, (that I hadn't okay'd) and when I logged in the spider game was now missing. I tried reinstalling and repairing, with no luck. I also tried backing out of the updates, which did nothing. Next I plan to uninstall and reinstall.... Is this a know issue? And is there anything else I should try?

    update, I tried the uninstall/reinstall no luck. BTW, 64 bit version. It seems to install correctly but the exe file will not run.
