Anyone know if there is any issue with installed Vibestreamer on a Windows 2003 Server Web Edition ? It has some limitations from Standard edition, mainly that you can't install MS SQL server, as well as some other applications. Not sure if it would prevent a Vibestreamer install.

Anyone have it working on a server with Web edition ?

I can't see a reason why Vibe Streamer wouldn't run on this version of Windows.

Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, is designed specifically for dedicated Web serving needs, and its functionality has certain limitations as follows

Although computers running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, can be members of a Microsoft Active Directory service domain, Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, cannot be a domain controller. Consequently, organizations cannot use Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, alone to apply certain management features, including Group Policy, Software Restriction Policies, Remote Installation Services, Microsoft Metadirectory Services, Internet Authentication Service (IAS), and others.
Organizations cannot use Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, to deploy enterprise Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) services. UDDI is an essential component for enabling discovery and reuse of XML Web services.
Organizations cannot use Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, to deploy Microsoft SQL Server, other than SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

I've run Vibe Streamer on 2003 Server Standard for over a year without any issues or loss of functionality. I can't see the Web Edition being an issue.
