I am attempting to install Microsoft Data Protection Server 2007 onto a box running Server 2008 standard. This is a fresh OS install to begin with and I have installed the prerequisites called for in: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb808814.aspx. I downloaded the latest available DPS 2007 installation media (English only version) and extracted to the hard drive on the 2008 box. When I run setup.exe I am presented with the license agreement and as soon as I agree I get an error that says:"Setup has detected an incompatible operating system.Install DPM System Recovery Tool on a computer with Windows Server 2003 R2 or later."What am I missing?Thanks!
