Disable Version Checks?

Hey everyone, There are a ton of programs and driver installations that should work fine in Win2k, if they would just STOP checking the Windows version and dismissing Win2k just like they would BeOS or a Dos.

Hey everyone,
There are a ton of programs and driver installations that should work fine in Win2k, if they would just STOP checking the Windows version and dismissing Win2k just like they would BeOS or a Dos.
 
My question is this... Is there a program or method to making a setup program think that I'm running NT or Win98? I tried Hex editing, and it simply doesn't work with this particular one. Bad library errors.
 
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance, everyone!

Event log errors, anyone?

Q3A + SMP + Detonator (RC) 3.78 + Win2k = HELP!!

You can use APCOMPAT from the SUPPORT folder on the windows 2000 cd to make programs think you have a diffrent version of windows, i have used this on one setup program before and it did work.
Hope it works for you
