NBU 7.X Windows 2012 support

[Ivy_Yang]

Hi, I know that NBU7.5 doesn;t support WIndows 2012.

and from this thread http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/netbackup-75x-windows-2012-support, which mentioned that:

"Support for Windows 2012 client will be added in NetBackup 7.5.0.6 as well as NetBackup 7.6. The 7.5.0.6 release is expected in early Q2 of 2013 but, unlike the 7.6 release, will not support optimized backup and restore of NTFS data deduplication."

and the Symantec NetBackup  Enterprise Server and Server 7.x OS Software Compatibility List (Created on October 01, 2013) also mentioned that 7.5.0.6 support Windows2012 client

so my question is that:

How can I install NBU7.5.0.6 on Windows2012 ? because we require a NBU7.5 base installation anyway and then upgrade 7.5.0.6.....

but NBU7.5 base installation on Windows 2012 always fail since it doesn;t support.......

anybody can tell me how to do this?

appreicate your help!!!
