CE 5 Install issue - Software-Testing

As far as I know, you have to install on XP or 2K. I don't believe PB will
run on the server OSes.

Take a look at the CD Sleeve for the system requirements. I think that you
will find the requirements to be Windows 2000 or Windows XP SP1. Neither of
which is Windows 2003.

If I recall correctly, there was a discussion some time ago with information
that may lead to a successful install on Server. Do a search on
GoogleGroups.
