HPSIM 5.2 doesn't install on Window 2000 SP4?

[Ken Randell]

I have an existing HP SIM 5.1 SP1 installation on a Windows 2K SP4.

According to this page (reformatted as this ITRC contraption won't take it), this should work:

http-h18013.www1.hp.com-products-servers-management-hpsim-dl_windows.html

However, when I attempt to install HP SIM 5.2, I get a message stating:

--------------------------
Setup halted. The following issues need to be resolved:

1) HP Systems Insight Manage Installer requires Windows Server 2003 Standard SP1/WIndows Server 2003 Enterprise SP1/Windows XP Professional SP2/Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista or greater.
-------------------

Why does HP SIM 5.2 require Windows 2K3, or did I miss something else?

Since Microsoft no longer supports Windows 2000, it has been dropped from our support matrix. What that means is that if we found a problem during QA or during the product's lifecycle that traced back to a problem with the OS, we would have no recourse.

We generally support a current release and one back, so with WS08, that makes WS03 "one back."

I'll submit changes for the incorrect page you mention.
