just use universal extractor and extract it and you should be able to install it it creates a temp folder and the setup exe will be in there and it should bypass the model check

I also had this problem. I wanted to update the drivers for the Intel graphics since the drivers on my SZ6 seemed quite old. Maybe i will not gain anything from this but i got a similar error message. I did extract it first though.
