Hiya M,
Yep, I had this problem too .. Basically, its a practical no-go on Windows 2000 as stands, the installation sheild just wont allow an install. At all. Good news is, I have Single user 7.5 now running on windows 2000. This this fabby guy on here helped me out. If you mail me I'll send you the solution I got from him,it didnt work for me, but may for you ? You can try that first if you wanna, its option (a) (hope he dosent mind ;) )
You have 2 options:
(a)First ones illegal, so Im not even going there **grin**
(b)Do what I did and partition your hard disk. This is a pain in the ass but I found it to be the only way around it. Have both 98 /2000 OS on there and run Peoplesoft on 98. There is a downside, you have to reformat the hard disk to do the partition. I believe there is a way to get round this and keep the data on there without a reformat but its fiddly and I cant tell you how to do it.
With either option you'll probably encounter problems when you try to run SQRs, you have to force windows to recognise the Peoplesoft path in autoexec.bat, again , I'll talk ya through it.
Mail me,
Shan
Has anyone sucessfully installed PS 7.5 single-user on Windows 2000? The cd install program fails to recognize the OS. I have tried to fool the install program into believing the OS is NT 4 or another OS without success. I know the single-user 7.5 works fine on Windows 2000 as I have some workstations that had 7.5 already installed prior to being upgraded to 2000.
