You could edit the msi and remove that check. That's easy to do.
This requires the tool Orca [1], which is part of, for example, the gratis
Windows SDK from MS
("Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1").
Open the msi in Orca then select the LaunchCondition table on the left side.
This will show two rows on the right side:
Condition Description
Installed OR NOT INNOSETUPINSTALL Backup your user Mercurial.ini file, then
uninstall [INNOSETUPINSTALL] before installing this package.
VersionNT >= 501 TortoiseHg requires Windows XP or higher
delete that second check and save the msi. Then try installing that
and see what happens.
But this is completely untested and unsupported. And it will break the
digital signature. So don't complain if it nukes your W2K install when
installing that modified msi.
