Thats too bad, if the 2008 runtime isn't compatible with win2k then
future Nmap versions wont be ether. There goes the backwards
compatibility neighborhood. But I guess windows wants you to start
developing embedded things on vista.

Nmap simulates the eth* interface names by just assigning each
interface one, its easier to specify a specific interface that way.
You can list all the interfaces by running the following in the
command line:
nmap --iflist

I've seen that error once before, the solution was to uninstall the
winpcap that nmap installed and reinstall it. you can get it here:
