Good afternoon everybody.
I'm installing a new server (ESXi 5.1 running two VMs both Server 2008 - NOT R2) for a client.
Everything has gone pretty well so far except for this installation of Office I'm setting up for Remote Desktop/Terminal Server users.
The client ordered a version of Office 2013. It's installing on the workstations just fine - they're WIN7-64bit. However, I'm trying to install Office on the server for the TS users.
Upon install it errors out with "The specified program requires a newer version of Windows." I've found a few resources, specially:
this http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2013/01/03/how-to-setup-microsoft-office-2013-kms-host-on-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
and this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35584
But I still get the error no matter what. Any suggestions? Or is 2008 R2 the only platform available for Office 2013 and not 2008 (non R2).
Thanks,
JBH
