    I am trying to install "Endpoint Protection Small Buisness" on a fresh Windows 7 virtual instance and cannot seem to get it. I get an error (see attached picture). I am not sure whats going on here, I am trying to install Version 12.0.1 - which is what comes up when I say I want to download trial software. Windows 7 is also listed as a compatible operating system with this product (or should I say product group "Symantec Protection Suite Small Business Edition".

    Any Idea's why this is happening and how I can prevent it? I would like to test out this solution, but not being able to simply install the client software is pretty discouraging.

    Endpoint Protection Small Business  Protection Manager is not compatible with Windows 7

    Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition Client can be installed on Windows 7 but the Management Server or the Console cannot be installed on Windows 7.

    Below is the System Requirment link.

    Same goes for Trialware as well.
