BE12 agent install on Windows 2008

I've got BE12 running on a Win2003 server. I've a Win2008 server.  I wanted to install the agent on it with advance open files. When I tried to install it remotely, it wouldn't let me select
advance open files options from BE12 console.

I tried running setupaofo.cmd after running setup.cmd, and noticed vsp.sys wasn't installed as kernel driver.

is it because it utilitized volumen shadow copy?  also do I need to have this service running in windows 2008?

any suggestions?

thanks

You Cannot install AOFO on Windows 2008 as the by default the backups are performed using VSS .  With backup exev version 12.5 you cannot install aofo on windows 2003 or 2008 server . U can just set the vss service to be in manaul state .
