Digital Image Suite 2006: A quick overview 'We've been developing Digital Image Suite since 1996,' AnnMarie Thomas, the marketing manager for consumer software titles at Microsoft recently told me. 'We built it for the everyday consumer, and everything we do has that user in mind.

I agree this is a shame as I still use DIS 2006 on a regular basis. However the program is 12+ years old so I've always considered that compatibility as Windows 10 progresses was a 'borrowed time' thing at best. DIS 2006 also has a few other issues (opening image files beyond about 2GB, resolutions restrictions, and a few quirks with 4K displays) that reflect how far PC's have come in the last decade that it is hard to fault to program for as well. It's old.
The good news is that it is ONLY the installer that fails on Builds past 1703 as it can no longer find the IE6 32 bit 'pieces'. Once the application is installed it continues to work fine on all the release builds of Windows 10 I've used so far (including the just-released 'Spring Creators Update' Build 1803).
A few approaches I've successfully used to keep my access to DIS 2006:

Keep an Install of Build 1703 handy so if you do have to reinstall everything on your system, you can use that build, install DIS 2006, and then let Windows Update bring you current on new builds of Windows 10 (which is what I've done the last 2 times I had to wipe-and-rebuild the O/S).
Do an install of Build 1703, install DIS 2006 and any other apps that still look for 32bit IE pieces (I've run across a few that I really didn't care about but your mileage may vary. Do the upgrade to the most current version of Windows and them make a disk image of that 'clean' build in case you need to do a future restore. This is my preferred method as I do often test software on my system and occasionally have to restore to baseline.
