I have been asked to install SQL server 2000 standard edition (32 bit) onto a 64 bit server running Windows Server 2008. Obviously the installation is failing with message "cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available."

Is there any way round this issue, or is it an impossible task?

"SQL Server 2000 and below are not supported on Vista/Windows Server 2008 and above (which includes Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2)"

It is listed about a third of the way down on the post.
