How to install Adobe Audition CS2 on Server 2003

1. Download and install Microsoft Platform SDK for Server 2003 (Deselect everything except "Microsoft Windows Installer SDK") ... this'll take a while.
   
   
2. Now go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\bin and launch orca.msi (Right click -> Install)
   
   
3. Start Orca from start menu and open the Adobe Audition 2.0.msi from the installation directory of Audition 2.0 (you have to copy the whole cd to your hard disk in order to make changes to the .MSI file!)
   
   
4. On the left pane, select InstallExecuteSequence
   
   
5. In the right pane, find the UnSupportedOS, right click the row and select "Cut".
   
   
6. Save the .MSI and re-run Audition 2.0 Setup.exe with Windows XP compatibility mode.
   

This works for virtually any .MSI based application setup.
