You can only install WSS 3.0 on Windows Server 2003.

In the future it will be possible from Windows Server 2008. (As it is
now with the beta version of that.

That was called Vista but it was Vista *Server*.

I do not think you can install it on Vista. Server OS only. You would
need to use a virtual machine.

I somehow missed your reply. I think I saw this in a search I did and
replied to the original message and did not see any replies. Sorry.

No problem. I should have just let it go but I was feeling hyper-active
at the time.
