Hello Cosmo
CVI 8.0 will not officially support Win 2003 server. The reason I say
this is because we don't do any kind of extensive testing on the
Windows Server products. And the main reason for this is because not
many of our customers use the Windows Server products as their main
development OS.
I would expect CVI to just work since there has not been a significant
API change in Win 2003 server and all the old APIs still work.
You just have to be more careful about the various security
restrictions that are in place in the server products. But typically I
would not expect anyone use a server OS as a development system, more
for a deployment target.
We do monitor customer requests for supporting the various OSes out
there. So I would recommend you (and any one else out there interested
in this) use the
product feedback link and make sure sure we hear about your needs.
With all that said, I would like to hear if you have run into problems
with using CVI on Windows Server 2003. I can't guarantee we'll fix all
the issues that are specific to the server products, but we can
certainly try and see if there is something we can do to help you out.
We are looking into XPE as a possibly supported platform in the future.
I hope this helps.
