If you’re like me and you like using your server as a desktop you have probably run into the issue where an installer won’t initialize in Server 2003 even though you are sure it would run just fine. If so all you need is Application Verifier from Microsoft to trick the executable.
Use is fairly simple, add the installer .exe and change the following attributes under Compatibility -> High VersionLie
Major Version: 5
Minor Version: 1
Build number: 2600
Service pack major: 2
Service pack minor: 1
Suite Mask: 0
Product Type: 0
CSD Version:
