Normally, you can with some success install XP Software and XP Drivers the following way:

• insert your installation CD / unzip your application / driver package
• right klick on "setup.exe" and klick on "compatibility"
• select "Windows XP SP2" and "run as Administrator".

in most cases, this will do the trick. but there is some software , are some drivers, that just refuse to install, no matter what you try. after some hours of fiddling around and using google, i finally found a solution that works exceptionally well:

• download the tool DriverMax
• install your driver under Windows XP (if you dont have it installed, just install XP into vmware or go to a friends pc)
• install the tool DriverMax under XP, too
• export the driver in question using DriverMax into a zip file
• import this zip file using DriverMax while running in Vista

This method worked fine for the USB DVBT-stick MSI Mega Sky, for wich MSI refuses to make Vista drivers.
