When trying to install this version on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (virtual machine) an error is received: “Server operating system not supported! This is not a supported platform for Software AG’s Natural Community Edition”

The documentation says

> [@](#):
>
> Supported Operating System Platforms
> 
> Natural supports the following 64-bit operating system platforms, both for the Natural development environment (Natural) and for the Natural runtime environment (Natural Runtime):
> 
> - Microsoft Windows 7
> - Microsoft Windows 8
> - Microsoft Windows Server 2008
> - Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
> - Microsoft Windows Server 2012
> 
> Home Editions of Microsoft Windows are not supported.

What have we missed ?

I assume the documentation refers to the operating systems supported by the “full” version of Natural  
while the CE doesn’t support all of them.

Thank you, Yes a bit confusing, but the Danish support called me directly with the same explanation. Thank you.
