Norton compatibility with 2000

This is a discussion about Norton compatibility with 2000 in the Windows Software category; I am running Windows 2000 Professional and am having a problem installing any version of Norton; including 7. 01 corporate. It says I have to be in 95/98 to install. I know there is something about the apcompat.

You need to get Norton Antivirus for Windows NT.

NACE 7.01 comes in two flavours that I've seen and downloaded: 9x and NT. Although, I'm not sure if this is full warezed version or just a demo.
 
And for the record, I have a legit copy of NAV2000, I just wanted to see how 7.x was different from 6

My Norton 7.01 Corporate CD installs fine straight fromt he CD. Using Autorun. No special tweaks or hoops to jump through required.

I am not sure if the Norton I got was for NT.. I got it from my father in-law, but that could be the case. It is just strange that no version I have tried works on 2000. About the apcompat file; does anyone know what that does for installation of software?
