Well, I'm not much of an win person... but doesn't the installer keep a
log of all system changes made? I mean, an installer can't do anything you
can't do by hand. Try exporting the applicable registry tree from the NT4
system, copying any dlls required into the system directory on the 2k
system, then do a straight file copy (if you need to make any reg changes
for differing drives do so). I'm not sure exactly what's changed between the
NT versions that would effect CF, but the system libraries may be newer and
slightly (or completely) incompatible versions that effect the functionality
of certain tags.
If your time and lack of newer features is worth the money you might
save, might as well give it a try.

Zac,
Thanks. Afraid I'd much rather install any Windows OS clean rather than
upgrading, which is another set of headaches. For a new server, of course,
it's also twice as fast. I wonder what it would take to get CF 4.0.1 to
install directly into Win2k.
Jim
