Program to modify .exe install parameters

[bruceb]

Can someone direct me to a program (preferably freeware) that can modify the installation requirements for a .exe program ? ? I have a program, Java 7 Update 171 which will not install to Windows XP PRO SP3 .. the installer starts and then shuts down. So something is checking to see what OS is installed and then decides if the installer continues. For reference, Java 7 Update 151 does install properly on XP PRO SP3 .. So Java 8 Update 171 should work fine, if the installer will run. Note that I am using the full offline installer. I also tried with the silent installer, same result.
