I used these instruction for here to convert the Wave 3 Beta exe so it would run on Server 2008 32bit!
http://blog.tiensivu.com/aaron/archives ... -2008.htmlUpdate: Rafael Rivera Jr. has provided a much more elegant method of providing support for unsupported operating systems:
#1. Download Resource Hacker.
http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/#2. Open the Live installer executable (either WLSetup-All.exe or WLSetup-Web.exe) inside Resource Hacker.
#3. Locate CONFIG -> CONFIG0 -> 0
#4. Strip out the following XML, leaving the surrounding text:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><installerConfig version="1"><setting name="language">en</setting><setting name="buildtype">ship</setting><setting name="CeipDefault">false</setting><setting name="HomepageDefault">true</setting><setting name="SearchDefault">true</setting><setting name="ToolbarDefault">true</setting><setting name="SearchFormCode">IEFM1</setting><setting name="sku">wlsetup-all.exe</setting><applications><application id="messenger"><launch>true</launch></application></applications><ui><level>standard</level></ui></installerConfig>
#5. Compile the script.
#6. Save the modified executable.
#7. Run the modified executable, and the OS check is no longer there!
Much better than trying to get files during mid install etc.
I was able to install all programs from the beta pack.
