Install on Win98 aas follows:

1.  Export the registry to a text file
2.  Get a complete directory listing of your primary drive (I have an ls, so
I would do ls -lR from c:\)
3.  Install the VC SW
4.  Export the registry to another text file
5.  Get a complete directory listing of your primary drive

6.  diff registry.before.txt and registry.after.txt This tells you what the
installer did as far as
     registry munging
7.  diff dir.before and dir.after, this tells you what files got installed

8.  Try to manually re-create 6+7 on your Win2K box.  If you have an .vxd
files to install, give
     up there, as I don't think W2K or WinNT support .vxds (they use the new
windows driver model)

I've had similar thoughts though I don't have a clue as to where to being.
I've done some checking with a dependancy checker and I've monkeyed with • the

I'm willing to bet that the issue here isn't even technical (as far as • the
software is concerned). It is probably the installer script which was • written
to check if the platform is for Win 98 or NT - and when it doesn't find • either,
it doesn't let you install.

It may also be that marketing or quality control at Lego might insist • that
the
software be certified by Microsoft as being Win2K compliant before • officially
supporting it. Technically, there is very little new in Win2K - it is • mainly
Win NT guts with Win 98 add-ons.

What?!?!?!

Oh man, I didn't even try, I'm moving to 2000 in a week. Damn!

C'mon LEGO(r) if your only going to support Windows THEN support • Windows...
