Program Compatibility Assistant Appears after Driver Installation Attempt

Symptom(s):
When running Windows* Vista, after running a download driver package for Intel® Network Adapters for an operating system other than Window* Vista, the Program Compatibility Assistant will launch. The Program Compatibility Assistant says, "This program might not have installed correctly."

PROVISTA32.EXE for 32-bit versions of Windows* Vista.

Windows Vista* 64, Windows Vista* Starter, 32-bit version, Windows Vista* Home Basic, 32-bit version, Windows Vista* Home Premium, 32-bit version, Windows Vista* Business, 32-bit version, Windows Vista* Enterprise, 32-bit version, Windows Vista* Ultimate, 32-bit version, Windows Vista* Home Basic, 64-bit version, Windows Vista* Home Premium, 64-bit version, Windows Vista* Business, 64-bit version, Windows Vista* Enterprise, 64-bit version, Windows Vista* Ultimate, 64-bit version, Windows Vista*, Windows Vista* 32
