... if any ?
Recently switching from Windows 2003 Server to 2008 my MS-Works 7 version does not install at all. I'm running now in a VM with XP but prefer to have it installed.

What MS-Works version works on Windows 2008 Server with remote desktop?

Did you try installing Works 7 using Server '08's compatibility mode?
Try running the MS-Work 7's setup file using XP compatibility - it should get through.

You won't be able to install it in Windows 2008. Your VM solution is the best bet scenario.

2I'm sorry, but I need to ask why. Why would you ever want to run Works 7 on a server? Or why use Works at all? – MDMarra – 2009-09-16T14:05:59.230
He may have documents he needs to open, and doesn't have a compatible file reader. It's possible. – None – 2009-09-16T15:24:00.890
Yes users was working a long time with PC manufacture included software (Dell delivered PC's with MS-Works). – PeterMmm – 2009-09-17T07:00:03.523
If you have a server OS, I'm assuming you have office as well. You can open those documents in Office and Save As them to .doc or .docx and it will convert them. – MDMarra – 2009-09-17T14:24:10.077
