I seem to remember when I tried the install on the one remaining Win2K PC here that the Office 2007 install actually told me it wouldn't install it because it couldn't be installed on Windows 2000.

I am very interested in this as well. The exact error message is "The specified program requires a newer version of Windows."
I am running Windows 7 and Windows 2000/xp/2008 R2 and linux in Vmware.
I wanted a quick OS Windows based that did not require a lot of disk space.
The boot CD for W2k SP4 comes in at 374 mb and on my Core 2 Duo processor Windows 2000 SP4 flies!
The environment variable for both XP and Windows 2000 are the same "Windows_NT" so that is not the problem.
I will figure this out and report back when I get it working.

It's not the environment variable that gets checked. The setup will use the version number (which is 5 for Windows 2000 and 5.1 for XP) and build number (which would give a good idea if any service packs were installed).

Ok! Now we are getting somewhere. Thanks for the helpful nudge in the right direction!
