Hi, The information you provided is not enough for our further research. Please help me to collect the following information: 1. Is your Windows Server 2008 a 32bit or 64bit version? 2. What’s the user account you used? 3. Did you get the same issue if you install the software on other computers? 4. Have you tried to install other software on the problematic Windows Server 2008 computer? 5. Is the software compatible with Windows Server 2008? 6. Have you tried to right click on the software and then select “Run as administrator”, did you get the same issue? By the way, if possible, please provide the download link of the software. Best Regards, Vincent Hu
