I was curious if such is possible. I copied Vista calc.exe to Windows 7 and it doesn't start. I tried running it in compatibility mode and still nothing. Windows 7 clearly doesn't like Vista :)

Google says no, in fact returns nothing for installing Vista's calc in W7...some of vista's exe's work in compatibility mode, some just do not work.– MoabFeb 21, 2012 at 3:41

2Any particular reason you need or like Vista's calc?– MoabFeb 21, 2012 at 3:43

2@Moab the answer is simple -- it sucks! I'm using it while programming and constantly need to switch between hexadecimal and decimal formats but then I may need to also use fractional calculations but for some reason the calc in Windows 7 needs to be switched from Programmer mode just to do floating point calculations. Hate it!– ahmd1Feb 21, 2012 at 9:09

I have not tried this one, see if it meets your needs...microsoft.com/download/en/…– MoabFeb 21, 2012 at 19:28

Hah, thanks. But honestly that's the ugliest calculator ever :) I actually got hold of the calc.exe from Windows XP and it works perfect on Windows 7 as well.– ahmd1Feb 21, 2012 at 19:44
