Installation problem in Win 2000 Server
« on: March 04, 2004, 01:42:52 AM »
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:

03.03.2004 16:35:58 general: Started: 03.03.2004, 16:35:58

03.03.2004 16:35:58 general: errordlg: 375,135

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

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.
