Win2008 Install

[Digital Refugee]

Greetings,

I have recently had to install Windows Server 2008 (do to some horrid update with Vista 64 that destroyed the communication with my AMD Proc) in order to maintain some campatability with some programs.

I went to install the 2008 Collection edition, however when I run the installer as both Administrator (right click) and under all the compatibility options (again right click), I get the error saying that the installer cannot be run in Win32 mode.

My computer:

AMD Phenom 9950
8 Gb's DDR2 1066 Ram
ATI HD 4870x2 2 Gb's DDR5
Bigfoot KillerNIC Ethernet Card
MA-GA790GP-DS4H Motherboard (Gigabyte)

Now I have fully updated the Win Server, however I am not sure, do I require certain installations like .NET or anything else?

Attached is my DxDiag zipped (slightly over the 19.5k max for a notepad file)

Also, quick addition..

When I try and manually install the collection by disc, It said to install the POL first. When I attempt to do that, I get a message saying that should "Contact the application vernder to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."






ISSUES RESOLVED

For those of you who purchase the game via Direct2Drive, be forwarned that the POL is either corrupt or not complete. You need to download THIS installer from playonline.com. Install that, then proceed to manually install INST1, INST2, etc.
