	For ~~unknown~~ reasons, the Japanese LEGO Island installer ~~features~~ a version check that ~~fails if the version of~~ Windows ~~you're using is not~~ 4.x (~~e.g.~~ 95, 98, or Me). ~~This means~~ the installer ~~will fail~~ on any Windows ~~version newer~~ (~~starting with~~ Windows ~~2000~~). ~~As such~~, ~~for this version you should probably~~ use the [[Getting_Started#Alternative_Installer\|LEGO Island Alternative Installer]].		For reasons that remain unclear, the original Japanese release of the LEGO Island installer includes a strict version check that only permits installation on Windows 4.x builds (specifically Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me).
			If the operating system is detected as anything newer—beginning with Windows 2000 and continuing through all subsequent versions—the installer immediately aborts and displays the following error message (as shown in the accompanying screenshot):
			“This application is for Windows 95 only. It cannot be used on any other operating system.”
			Consequently, attempting to run this particular Japanese installer on modern Windows versions (or even on Windows XP and later) will always fail.
			To successfully install the Japanese version of LEGO Island on contemporary systems, it.Marker is strongly recommended to use the community-developed LEGO Island Alternative Installer instead (see: [[Getting_Started#Alternative_Installer\|LEGO Island Alternative Installer]]). This alternative bypasses the outdated version check entirely and ensures full compatibility.
