Software Compatibility Question (Forced Install)

[Guest Daniel P. Cayea]

I have a piece of software I am trying to install on Server 2008. The setup

will say that it can only install on Windows 2000, XP, or Vista. Now, even

in compatibility mode (right clicking on the setup and telling it to run in a

different layer) it tells me that it can only install in 2K, XP, or Vista.

What can it be looking at to know the difference even in a compatibility

layer? It isn't a system utility, its some test scoring software.

 

Thanks,

Dan

Hello Daniel,

 

The software vendor is responsible for your question i think. If they don't

have a 2008 compatible version, well you have to find another one or maybe

wait for it.
