installing .NET server RC1 over Win2k Pro

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

The RC1 setup can only upgrade the system when it is a server OS and says that my win2k pro is no good.

 

I tried the following :

 

- Use NTSwitch to transform my Win2k Pro into Win2k Server

- Run RC1 setup and upgrade.

 

The first part went well. The setup was fooled quite well, it started to upgrade, copied files, the usual setup stuff.

 

After that it boots, shows the .NET RC1 Setup entry in the boot menu then stops displaying this error message : "needed DLLs for kernel" frown

 

Has anyone successful with that kind of trick ?

PS: I had a ghost image ready, my system is back to good old Win2k Pro, no problem here, just curious laugh

Well, I know I should clean install it but I've been taking great care of my system for years now, and I don't feel like reinstalling and reconfiguring tons of stuff just for a RC1 ...

 

It was worth a shot anyway ! smile

good i am glad to see you got your backup plan laid out well

I just lost a drive on monday and i was happy that all i needed to do was reingstall. No important data was lost. I started a thread about it in the other section called a warning to all.
