There were a few patch levels of the TSM client 5.4.1 that would work on Win2000 machines, but the client was actually operating at 5.3 levels despite the 5.4 label. IIRC, 5.4.1.6 was the latest patch level that did this. -- Mark Stapleton System engineer, CDW -Original Message-

Yes, some of the earlier 5.4 levels let you install the client on Windows 2000, but just to make it clear for others who might wonder about Windows 2000 support: 5.4 was never officially supported on Windows 2000, as stated in the summary of changes in the 5.4 manual:
