Installing VBox 3.0.6 on Windows 2000 fails

Hello,

I'm using already VBox on Vista, it works great.
I'm trying to install it on a Windows 2000 host and just after launching the install, I get the MSI error : Installation of MSI failed! ERROR: 1633

This error means that the platform (Windows 2000) is not supported.

Does anybody know what I shoud do to install it ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

1.5.6 is the last version that supports 2k as Host. Due to new features in VB, support for 2k was removed since 1.6.0 because 2000 doesn't support them.
