MVP baseball 2005 wont work on windows 10, no solutions yet found

[mannypokey]

Sorry its its been solved, i have been looking at the forums for days, however have not found my exact situation, found similar but nothing referring to the problems im dealing with directly;

 

Hey everyone, i am having the most difficult time trying to install MVP baseball 2005 on a windows 10 laptop. I have the game, it installs everything goes fine, until i try to open it. I get this message

 
ive looked online for days trying to find all the solutions. Ive tried to run it im compatibility mode windows xp SP 3, doesnt work, tried with windows vista doesnt work. I also downloaded all the official patches and when i try to install them i get this message;

"Old file not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match" but i am using a fresh copy of the game, no updated rosters, no mods etc.

for reference i have managed to install roller coaster tycoon 1 and that worked no problems. Any have any idea what im doing wrong?
