This article explains that Net Express 5.1 WS4 for Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 requires installation of a new cut of the base Net Express 5.1 product before being applied.

Problem:

Net Express 5.1 has been retooled to support Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. How does this work?

Resolution:

To use Net Express 5.1 WS4 on Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2, a re-cut base 5.1, or 5.1 WS1 product must be installed before applying the Websync.

To use Server 5.1 WS4 on Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2, the re-cut Server 5.1 GA must be installed before applying the Websync.

Once any existing 5.1 product installation has been removed, and the re-cut product installed, WS4 can be applied.

Net Express 5.1 GA and Server 5.1 GA can be ordered from your Sales representative. Net Express 5.1 WS1 can be downloaded from the SupportLine website.
