    I was unable to install PP3 Beta. I double clicked the "install.cmd" file as instructed but nothing happened.

    I am using PP2 trial version.

    Will PP3 Beta install in the trial version or only in the retail version?

    Thanks,

      Given the trail and OEM version are two different packages, I doubt it.  You can't even upgrade the trail using the OEM activation key.  Someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm, but, don’t get your hopes up high.

        Yes, Power Pack 3 beta will install on a Windows Home Server trial installation. Can you give us more information?

          Ken, thanks for the reply.

          I just noticed that I had to have PP2 version 6.0. I have version 5.

          How do I get version 6. I cannot locate it in Windows Update.

          Thanks,

          Dave

              Ken,

              With your comment that it should install on the trial version, I tried it again and it worked.

              Thanks much

              Dave
