Hi,

Damit now i've found out this...
The upgrade paths you can perform are:
Windows 9x -> Windows 2000 Professional
Windows NT Workstation -> Windows 2000 Professional
Windows NT Server -> Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server
Windows NT Terminal Service Addition -> Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server
Windows NT Enterprise Edition -> Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Datacenter
Windows 2000 Advanced Server -> Windows 2000 Datacenter
You cannot perform the following upgrades:
Windows NT Workstation -> Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, Datacenter
Windows 2000 Professional -> Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, Datacenter
Windows 2000 Server -> Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2000 Datacenter
That just suxs...but does anyone know how to get the non-personal version of IIS 5.0 cause it detects it by the OS!
