Might that work?

Lucas, thanks! Unfortunately it does not open my files - I think that's because this appears to be version 2 and I was using version 4. As I recall, there was a big datastructure change between those. On a positive note, ADM 2.0 does run on Windows 7 and it installed an about 3 seconds. It's amazing to see how fast 12-year-old software runs on today's machines.

The version at the link you give in the above quote is apparently v2.0 build 0.103, which is the latest version that I have been able to download from anywhere.
However, if you go to Wayback you will find that the latest published version seems to have been v3.0, with a licenced v4.0 Beta also mentioned.

You can see the ADM v3.0 Info page on Wayback 2006:
https://web.archive.org/web/20051215083227/http://www.adm21.net/

I couldn't get at the download from there though, which links to http://www.adm21.net/cgi-bin/ which is not able to be accessed, and the download resource request gives a 404 error.

Also refer the ADM v3.0 Purchase page (mentions licence for v4.0 Beta also) on Wayback 2006:

Hope this helps or is of use.

I've tried to install it... Setup says it is Antek Dealer Manager 7.1... I aborted the install
http://dealer-manager1.software.informer.com/download/

I don't think it is a virus or anything bad, just the wrong setup program

Following up 8+ years later... In case anyone is still looking, I found the installation file for ADM version 3.0 (technically it appears to be version 3.329):

https://web.archive.org/web/20070125014156/http://www.adm21.net/files/admsetup.exe

It seems to run fine so far, although, after installation, I had to manually configure the compatibility settings via the properties of the program executable. (I chose the option to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3.)

Hi Lucas -

Thanks for the post. I will check out the link.

I quite liked ADM - and then it was gone.

One of the strong points for me was that ADM didn't look like so many other PC programs. Also, ADM was one of the few outliner programs to feature columns and metadata. The closest to it today IMO - and surpassing it in some ways - is MyInfo.

I'd be interesting in learning how you experience ADM today.

Thanks.

Daly

Interesting, yes. For my purposes, I just wanted to fire up ADM as I have some old files in that format that I'd like to view. But these days InfoQube fills the niche for me.
