After putting the CD in my computer and bringing up the game window, I click on the "Install" button. However, either the computer will verify that I began the action and then do nothing, or an error message will come up, saying, "Installer not found." The CD is one that we used to play on our old computer, so I know it's not defective. Help?
The software may not be compatible with the operating system on your new computer.
If you've now got Win7, the help pages do offers suggestions on how to install software intended for older operating systems.

You could try to playing it compatibility mode. To do this, right-click the game, click Properties, then click the Compatibility tab and check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility for:", then choose what to run it under. This may or may not work, but hopefully it will.

You better dig that old Win98 machine out of the closet and fire it up. Oregon Trail doesn't want to install properly even when you run the install and set up in Compatibility mode (95 or 98). There is some issue with the version of DirectX it wants to use as well.
