You must install Xilinx ISE 14.7 (October 2013) to target the Spartan-3A FPGA. It is available at:
https://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/design-tools/v2012_4---14_7.html
(Note: Xilinx ISE 14.7 from December 2017 does NOT support the Spartan-3A)
To run the October 2013 release on Windows 10: install as usual, then do the following:

• Xilinx Driver Download For Windows 100

1. Navigate to the following ISE install directory: <install_path>Xilinx14.7ISE_DSISElibnt64

2. Rename the file 'libPortability.dll' to 'libPortability.dll.orig'.

Select Downloads from the menu above and then the category to download networking drivers, documentation, utilities and user guides. For OEM validated networking drivers, documentation and other utilities, select Downloads OEM from the menu above. To Raise A Support Ticket. There are two ways to create a support ticket.

3. Copy the 'libPortabilityNOSH.dll' file to the same folder, and rename it to 'libPortability.dll'.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 in the following folder: <install_path>Xilinx14.7ISE_DScommonlibnt64

The above steps substitute the original 'libPortability.dll' with a 'libPortability.dll' file that has SmartHeap disabled, the NOSmartHeap (NOSH) version. This does not negatively impact the operation of the tools, and should successfully work around the ISE 14.7 crash documented above.
