Does anyone know if Dreamweaver 8 supports being installed on Windows 2000 Advanced Server?

i.e. (A) Has anyone here installed and successfully used it on that O/S?, and
(B) Does anyone know if Adobe "supports" that configuration? (fwiw)

You can install most apps on 2000 server including DW8.

Its basically just windows 2000 with extra bells & whistles.

Why the heck are you putting it on Windows 2000
Advanced Server?

It is a desktop app.

That's a pretty rude response.

Ever heard of a development server?

We're a small office, only 2 developers. The PC I work on at my desk acts as my local testing server.

Before you come up with another snide reply, I know I can use IIS in Windows 2000 Pro. That's what I've been doing for the last 6 years. My I.T. Director just built me a new PC to replace the one I'm currently using, which has a failing mobo. He installed Win2K Advanced Server on it. (Wouldn't have chosen to do that, myself, but he means well.)

I haven't tried installing DW, or any other apps on it yet. I'm trying to determine if I should use that O/S, or if that might lead to problems. I am allowed to install other O/S'es on it, if I need to.

Does that satisfy your curiosity?

Have you check with Dreamweaver Support Techdocs for your situation?

Of course! I wouldn't bother all you nice people if I could find the answer myself.

But trying to use the adobe website is like banging your head against a brick wall. I went in circles for 45 minutes.

Besides that, one first hand account from someone who has done it successfully or unsuccessfully is worth 1000 Technotes.
