I have had a play with no luck.
There are two ways I can think of which would make it work.
Windows 7 has an "XP Mode" which is only available on business, enterprise and ultimate versions. I haven't tried this because I have home premium.
There is a 3rd party software called VMware. If you have an old XP cd you can download VMware player for free and then use the CD to make a virtual PC. It's like having an XP pc within your normal windows.
I haven't yet tried this method as my desktop and CD's are back home but I am sure it would work. Have run plenty of old programs this way and yet to find one that doesn't work under vmware.
Much easier to use the airservices web site tho.

C'mon people, get yourselves a Mac and all these Windows problems will disappear!
And if you still need Windows for some reason use VMware as Abaddon suggested. I have VWware and run Windows XP and the Apple operating system simultaneously, I can even drag items from my Mac desktop to my Windows desktop!

If you have access to a machine running xp, copy and paste the install folder onto a USB stick and then copy paste onto your windows 7 machine. Pretty sure that's how I got it working. Good luck!

Just tried this method confirmed it works.
I have zipped the directory if anyone is desperate shoot me a PM and I will email it to you.

Guys, it is fairly easy to run.
1. Download the latest version from Airservices
2. Right mouse click on the installer .exe file and select properties.
3. Select the Compatibility tab and tick run in compatibility mode select xp.
4. Run the installer...all good.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Stay Safe

I tried this already and get "Error 0 running command..."
I'll try copying the installed folder off an xp machine when I get access to one soon.

This doesn't work on mine (64bit W7 HP)
Are you running 32bit?
