This may came too late, but here’s one official way to bypass the OS incompatibility message:
1. Right click the *.exe file that you’ve downloaded (the driver installation file)
2. On the right-click menu selection, scroll to the bottom and click on “Properties”.
3. You’ll see some tabs in the Properties window that pops up. Click on the “Compatibility” Tab.
4. Tick the “Run this program in Compatibility mode for” checkbox, and select the OS that the driver supports.
5. Click the “Apply” button.
6. Click “OK”.
7. Now double-click on the *.exe file again to install the driver, and follow the steps for installation.

I was not able to get MS Orca to work, but I was able to find a program called SuperOrca(which is way faster to get a hold of and much smaller) that worked great. This walk through set me in the right direction. I did have to alter some other setting in the MSI but as stated “This is not a universal tutorial for all MSI packages out there”.

“[Description] [ProductName] requires that your computer is running Windows Vista or Windows XP

YOU ROCK! THX.
M-Audio Firewire 410 working on Window Server 2008
Original Driver : FireWire_6_0_1_5_10_0_5058.exe

Found another article with a direct link to an ORCA install instead of installing full SDK.
Article:
http://www.hack7mc.com/2009/01/fixing-msi-windows-version-checks.html

Their link to Orca Installer:
http://sites.google.com/site/hack7mc/Top/fixing-msi-version-checks/orca.Msi?attredirects=0

(don’t know origin/virus/etc, but worked for me without issue. Use your own judgement or just get the whole SDK if you are concerned)

Ran M-Audio driver install
Closed after version failure
Edited MSI from temp folder in Orca
Changed the ProductType portion from ’1′ to ’3′
Save MSI
Ran new MSI in temp folder…
WORX!

Thanks again!

I used this directions to install M-Audio Midiman Delta Audiophile to Server 2008 R2.

Though i also had to start original installer again, cancel it..
(original .msi packet was left to temp folder after cancelling -not deleted automatically as described here)
..and copy edited msi packet into same location in temp folder after deleted original one.

Then i could successfully install M-Audio drivers to my server.

This should be made possible by M-Audio because 1. though most people dont use m-audio products on servers they should not prevent it. M-Audio should not decide it behalf of customers.
2. Srv2008R2 has same core as Win7
3. Hyper-V users have to get hardware working in server first before delegating those to guest machines.. so i actually am trying to use this driver with Win7 -not in the server- it just runs over Hyper-V!

Thanks for the post.

My temp folder has a .exe file instead of a msi or the like. The 3rd party installer creates an install log with the following: Action 12:55:33: LaunchConditions. Evaluating launch conditions
Action start 12:55:33: LaunchConditions.
Affymetrix GeneChip Command Console requires that your computer is running Windows XP with SP2, Windows 2003 Server with SP2, or Windows Vista.
MSI (c) (90:0C) [13:02:12:048]: Product: Affymetrix GeneChip Command Console — Affymetrix GeneChip Command Console requires that your computer is running Windows XP with SP2, Windows 2003 Server with SP2, or Windows Vista.

Action ended 13:02:12: LaunchConditions. Return value 3.
InstallShield 13:02:12: Failed to launch action ‘LaunchConditions’, error is 1603

Any advise?

Thanks,
-Tom
