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.
