We are trying to install PAS 6.3 on Windows Server 2012 and the install fails with the following error

The following requirements are missing:

Windows Server 2003 SP1

We have successfully installed on Windows Server 2008 R2, so it really isn't a Windows Server 2003 SP1 issue.

Has anyone successfully installed on Windows Server 2012?  Is there a way to force the installer not to check for the OS?

Thanks.

Kevin

There doesn't seem to be a way round this and as ProClarity is no longer on Active support it won't get fixed either.

For easy and simple migration of your ProClarity content and users, check out Pyramid Analytics. It supports Windows Server 2012, SQLServer 2012 (including Tabular mode and PowerPivot models) and of course is supported with a strong development roadmap.

I have a PAS server running in Windows 2012, by doing exactly the same pre-requisites  that you do in Windows 2008 r2 (iis, Framework, SQL ADO 2005 / 2008). With the Windows Server 2003 SP1 message you can avoid it by doing a really simple thing that is right click the setup file --> properties, and head to the "Compatibility Tab" and run it with compatibility mode Windows 7, also run it with Admin permissions. This let you pass by the message and let you install the product.  Remember, after  the installation, you need to check all the IIS config, folder permissions, that you did in Windows 2008 x64  installation. Also, the App pool needs to work with .NET 2.0 not 4.0. 

Good luck!

Hi Byron,

Please can you let me know if you had to carry out any additional configuration once PAS server was installed in WS2012? I've successfully installed it but I can't browse to http://servername/PAS or connect using the Analytics Server Admin tool.

Both of these fail due to authentication so I wonder if I'm missing something somewhere?
