Title: Avast Free on Win Server 2003?
Post by: avuser007 on August 16, 2012, 08:18:52 AM

Hi, I'd like to try out Avast on an old computer running Windows Server 2003 SP2 32bit. The installation of "avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe" did not complete. The log follows below. Is it possible to install an edition of Avast on Win Server 2003 to try out?

Is it possible to install an edition of Avast on Win Server 2003 to try out?

That is to say, is there a different edition of Avast I can install on 2003 Server as a free trial?

Cheers
