    New "Beta" Live version won't install in W2003 SBS

    We've been using FolderShare for over 2 years now with fairly decent results.
    Tried to update to the new "Windows Live" branded version as requested, and
    the installer refuses to update our old version.

    Error given is "Operating system not supported, setup will end." (roughly)

    System is Windows 2003 Small Business Server.

    We appear to be working still with the older version, but are concerned that
    you may make the update/upgrade mandatory - thus locking us out of our files
    remotely.



    Can you, would you PLEASE update the MSI to recognize W2003SBS as a valid
    system? I have a hunch based on a sneak peak into your MSI file using ORCA
    that your setup validation strings are too strict.

    Thank you,

    If you install the latest Service Pack available for SBS, FolderShare should
    install just fine.

    Thanks,
