I have had it working on WIN10 as well

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Using regedit, I added String Values in both of those Keys with Value Name "RegisteredOrganization" and kept Value Data empty.
Once I did that, the program installed normally. But I still had a few issues: 1) the program would throw an "Unexpected error; quitting" alert when I tried to open it, 2) it would give a "System Fatal Notice" that "Object variable or With block variable not set [91]", and/or 3) it would give a notice saying COMCTL32.OCX or COMDLG32.OCX were missing or not registered correctly. The fixes for those those issues were:
1) As belvedere mentioned, always run the program(s) in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP2, and As Administrator if needed. That fixed the first two problems for me.
2) I copied the COMCTL32.OCX and COMDLG32.OCX files from a working machine and dropped them into C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (you could make a copy of or rename the files if they exist already). I then re-registered the files by running the following in an elevated Command Prompt:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\comctl32.ocx
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx
After that, the program opened and functioned normally for me (so far). I can't guarantee this will all work on Windows 11, but hope it helps! Also let me know if you want/need a copy of those two Visual Basic files.
