Norton compatibility with 2000

[cablehog 0]

I am running Windows 2000 Professional and am having a problem installing any version of Norton; including 7.01 corporate. It says I have to be in 95/98 to install. I know there is something about the apcompat.exe file or something, but will that help in this case? I need virus protection!!

You need to get Norton Antivirus for Windows NT.

I'm running NAV2000 that I purchased at http://www.symantecstore.com/FrontDoor/0,1076,2-1,00.html. Its advertised as follows: Norton AntiVirus 2000 6.0

for Win95/98/NT/2000

Norton AntiVirus from Symantec is the #1 anti-virus software in the world.

NACE 7.01 comes in two flavours that I've seen and downloaded: 9x and NT. Although, I'm not sure if this is full warezed version or just a demo.

 

And for the record, I have a legit copy of NAV2000, I just wanted to see how 7.x was different from 6

My Norton 7.01 Corporate CD installs fine straight fromt he CD. Using Autorun. No special tweaks or hoops to jump through required.

I am not sure if the Norton I got was for NT.. I got it from my father in-law, but that could be the case. It is just strange that no version I have tried works on 2000. About the apcompat file; does anyone know what that does for installation of software?

Norton System Works 2001 works fine on Windows 2000. Thought I would post this in hopes this thread will finally close. hehehe
