Summary


Details

User tied to install Solid Edge FastSearch 2022 on a Windows 2012 R2 server.  During the installation a message pops-up that this platform is not supported.


Is Windows server 2012 R2 unsupported? 



Solution

According to the Solid Edge 2022 readme.html 

Solid Edge stops certifying new releases against an operating system shortly after Microsoft drops mainstream support for it.  Microsoft dropped mainstream support for Windows 7 in January 2015. Microsoft dropped mainstream support for Windows 8.1 in January 2018.  As a result, Solid Edge no longer installs on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1

Microsoft stopped mainstream support for server W2012 R2 in Oct 9, 2018, so this is an unsupported platform.
