I know, I know, according to documentation not supported. I know also that it is a most unusual combination. However, for me, Windows 2000 as a host would be a useful thing. Therefore a question, before I try it: Is it at all worth trying an installation of VB on w2k? Is there some deep reason why w2k is not supported as a host? Has someone tried that (with the current VB 3.0.10 for instance)? Is there any chance that w2k would be supported as a host in the future? I have months long superb experiences with Windows XP as a host and w2k and Ubuntu as guests, but I have this one older w2k machine on which it would be great to run VB too.

Thank you for any information.

1.5.6 is the last supported release for 2k. There are so many new features that are not supported on 2k, that official support was removed. If you want the latest release, get XP or newer.
