Install detects Win2003 SP2 as Windows XP

Hello All,
Our product is allowed to install only on Windows 2003. There are a few Win2k3 machines where the installation aborts thinking that the machine is windows XP.

I am not sure how this is happening. Could anyone throw some light on the problem?

Thanks
Vishwa

It seems that such a behavior is happening only on Domain Controllers. Win2k3 machines that are domain controllers are detected as Win XP.

This does not happen with Installshield DevStudio 9. It is happening only with IS2008. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is this a bug in IS ?

Thanks,
Vishwa
