[Geoserver-users] 2.9 on Windows 2008r2 - Not supported on 9x/ME?

We recently upgraded our Weblogic server to 12.2.1 and it broke the old Geoserver 2.1.3 installation, yes I know if was really old. In prep for the new Weblogic install we blew all the old Java away and loaded 1.8.0_92. So after the Weblogic was done I downloaded the 2.0 installer along with the required oracle plugin in prep to upgrade our old Geoserver.

So I stop the current geoserver service, rename the old directory and kick off the new installer running as administrator. "This installer is not supported on Windows 9x/ME". Obviously the installer is seeing something it does not like. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why?

Thanks,

SL

Looking at the installer script, I have the impression the code had issues
getting the current user name... (mind, I had no involvement in the windows
installer, I just had a quick look at the NSIS script but I would not know
how to fix it or why it's happening on your system):
