I am attempting to install Microsoft Dynamics SL 7.0 Business Portal on a Windows Server 2008 32bit server. When the installation starts it tells me that the software is only compatible with Windows Server 2003 32bit edition. I tried running the install in compatibility mode for Windows Server 2003 and it is still failing.I have read that there is a feature pack 1 install for Business Portal. Does anyone have the link for this? All I could find is the GP version.

    There is a version of Business Portal specific to Feature Pack 1 if you are running SL 7 FP1.  I don't see it on CustomerSource so you probably need to talk to your SL partner.

    Windows Server 2008 32 bit is on the supported list for Business Portal for SL 7 Feature Pack 1.

    Here is the footnote:

    "Business Portal for Dynamics SL 7.0 FP1 supports Windows Server 2008 (32-bit only), however, the reporting functionality within Business Portal is not supported on any version of Windows Server 2008. If you would like to use reporting in Business Portal, the Web server must be a Windows Server 2003 operating system. Earlier versions of Business Portal for Dynamics SL 7.0 will not install on any version of Windows Server 2008."
