SYMPTOMS
When you try to upgrade an evaluation version of Small Business Server 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) by installing a full-package version of Small Business Server 2000, Setup is unsuccessful, and you receive the following error message:

This program is incompatible with this version of Windows.

Setup then quits.



CAUSE

RESOLUTION
To remove the time bomb on an evaluation version of Small Business Server 2000 SP1, install a full-package version of Small Business Server 2000 SP1.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
