WD Anywhere Backup will not install on Win 7

I purchased my WD Book, WD500H1CS-00 when I had a XP computer. I have finally backuped all my files erased the old hard drives and installed Win 7. However I cannot restore the backups because none of the WD software on the portable drive will install on Win 7 OS. What do I do now??? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I actually saw that page and failed to notice the download button toward the bottom of the page. I feel silly now. But at least I am up and running. Thanks.
