You receive a "Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 cannot be installed because this server is not running a Microsoft Windows 2003 or later operating system" error message when you try to install Windows SharePoint Services Service Pack 2
When you try to install Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Service Pack 2 on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition for Itanium-based Systems, you receive the following error message:
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 cannot be installed because this server is not running a Microsoft Windows 2003 or later operating system.
We do not support the installation of Windows SharePoint Services Service Pack 2 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition for Itanium-based Systems. However, this error message is incorrect.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
Although Windows SharePoint Services Service Pack 2 is not supported on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition for Itanium-based Systems, Windows SharePoint Services Service Pack 2 is supported on a computer that is running an x64-based version of Windows Server 2003 if the computer is running in 32-bit emulation mode. For more information about how to configure Windows SharePoint Services to run on a computer that is running an x64-based version of Windows Server 2003, see the Windows SharePoint Services Administrator's Guide. The Windows SharePoint Services Administrator's Guide is frequently updated. Therefore, if you have an earlier version of the Windows SharePoint Services Administrator's Guide, obtain the latest version.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
