Unfortunately I'm not much of a software person. But giving the name of the program would be very useful to the people on VOGONS that could help you.

If it's an older version of Sandra like 99, I found that will run the benchmarks only off an install from another system (like you install it to a disk in a 98 system, then plug the disk into something else) but try any of the info stuff that does hardware probes and it will crash. ... however, I've only done that once when finding it when checking out a drive before formatting it on another system which I think had Win7 32bit on it but not 100% sure, and did not note any specific details of what was required to make it work or whether it was a "planets aligned" thing, like the chipsets were from the same family or something.

The software is called Infopro and it is attached.
It works fine on OSes up until WindowsXP (although you receive 2-3 errors messages on WinXP before starting but afterwards it's running ok) but no newer ones.

Nice find! Here's the website.
The download links don't seem to work for some reason, but the shareware version is featured on this CD.

As you said, the install crashes midway on 64-bit OSses...did you try with Vista 32-bit?
Btw the registered version complains about Serial, so is it necessary to use a specific user name and company to get it working?

Yes, I tried both Vista and Windows 7 32-bit versions and it didn't worked.
But unlike 64-bit OSes, you can install the software but it refuses to launch.
You can use any username/company and it will work without problems.

Shareware version is available:

I have a question for those who can run this software: after you perform the CPU benchmark (it takes about 7 minutes) is it possible to save the result and upload it here? It is a 1KB file so not so huge 😀 I have a database with results from 486 up to Q9650 and I want to expand this database.
Thanks!

Windows 7 32bit, shareware from archive link, complains a lot about not being able to read registry on launch, no hardware detected right, but got into it and ran the CPU bench. Toshiba A200 with Core2 Duo T7100 at 1.8Ghz ... ran FPU emulation test, was that because it didn't detect FPU or does it always do it for integer testing?

Had to zip it to be an allowed attachment type..
