Cannot Install Antivirus On Whs Home Server: Not Compatible

I tried to install BD Antivirus 2009 on WHS, but I get a message that it is not compatible with this Operating System, although BD Antivirus is listed as compatible with WHS on BD's homepage! I have all updates installed on WHS.

  • I have the same issue, I cannot get BD Free to install, it says only support XP, Vista, and Home Server 32b. Not sure what 32b is but I have the WHS 1 with SP2. Odd thing is the install says BD Free Ed. 2009 but downloaded here where it says WHS supported.

    I have read many times it will require a "patch" that we need to install it.


    Can you please send me the patch.


    Thank you

  • Hi,


    I am facing the same problem: Bitdefender Free won't install on my Windows Home Server V1 (32 bit), Service Pack 2.


    When running the installer I am getting the following error: "This BitDefender product is not compatible with your operating system. It can only be installed on Windows XP SP2 or higher, Vista or Homeserver 32b. The installation is aborted."

    I have read about a patch in other threads of this forum which is able to fix this problem.


    It would be great if you could upload it or send it to me by mail.


    Many thanks in advance,


    Paul
