Renyaloth: If you get the "Myst 10th Anniversary" box that has 1-3 Or the "Myst: The Collection" that has 1-5, then they should all install/run with some compatibility tweaks.
Some of the older CD/DVD versions of Myst and Riven won't install since they are 16-bit installers and won't install on newer 64-bit machines.
Myst 3 - 5 and URU CD/DVDs should not have any problems installing.
The digital version tend to have some of the same compatibility issues the cd versions have...with various fixes.
I recommend this guide here for any setup issues you might come across.

Thanks for the help but still stuck. Your link sent me to the Myst Community which I joined. I found the link you referenced for using realMyst-Gog edition but the link to compatibility settings is gone (error 404).
I installed but the program tells me "no suitable rendering devices found.". I tried different compatibility settings but no luck. I am using an HP Pavillion laptop from 2008 with Win7Pro. Any ideas?
