 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use the Installer tool from Microsoft BackOffice on a Windows 2000-based computer, the only program available is Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server. All other products (such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange, and so on) cannot be selected for installation.

CAUSE
This issue occurs because BackOffice version 4.0 and BackOffice version 4.5 are not compatible with Windows 2000.

RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, you can install individual programs from their original installation media.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
