Anybody know why Avast 4 would think my Win 2000 Server OS is older than Win NT 4 SP 4?? I've done my best to look in the FAQs and old postings, but haven't found an answer.
I get:
> Err:Operating system does not meet minimal requirements. You can
> install only on Windows NT4 with Service Pack 4 or better. Cannot be
> installed on NT Server.
When I try to install, it bombs out, producing the following error log:

As you can see, I have Win 2000 server with the latest service pack.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's pretty self-explanatory.....
http://www.avast.com/i_idt_152.html (http://www.avast.com/i_idt_152.html)
PLATFORMS
- Windows 95
- Windows 98
- Windows Me
- Windows NT 4 (No Server)
- Windows 2000 (No Server)
- Windows XP (No Server)
It will NOT install to any server product. That's the meat&potatos of the AV world.

Hrrmm... it absolutely is self-explanatory... but only if that applies to the home version as well.
The link (http://www.avast.com/i_idt_152.html) shows info for Avast 4 Professional Version.
The text on the page for the Home Version (http://www.avast.com/i_idt_153.html) simply shows:
PLATFORMS
- Windows 95
- Windows 98
- Windows Me
- Windows NT 4
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP
So either it's a different problem, or that web page needs to be clearer.
In any case, thanks for the quick response.
