cannot install game

when I double click on freetrain.exe it gives me this error message:

Linux or Windows?

I am seeing this error in Vista.

I am getting the same error:

Game looks good though! I hope I can get it running, I would like to develop graphics for it

I have the exact same problem. Same error too. Does this mean the game is not compatible with Windows Vista? Am I missing something? The compatability mode doesn't really make this work either.

The wonders of google, should've thought of searching this before:
