title: Is there a way to install Delphi 2010 on Windows 2000
body: <p>I just downloaded the Delphi 2010 iso from my SA-subscription and wanted to install it in addition to my other Delphi installations on my notebook computer. Unfortunately it refuses to install because the machine is running Windows 2000.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible somehow to get it to install it anyway? Or is there a technical reason why it might not work, even if it installed?</p>
  
  <p>edit:</p>
  
  <p>Some more information:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Delphi 2009 installed fine on that computer, so dotNET 2.0 is already installed.</li>
  <li>The Delphi 2010 installer comes up, asks me for the language to use and then says "This product requires at least Windows XP. Setup cannot continue."</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What I am looking for now, is either:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>a way to get the installer to skip this check and install anyway  - or -</li>
  <li>a reason why this would not work (e.g. Delphi is using some Windows API that is not available in Windows 2000)</li>
  </ul>
