Will SQL Server 2012 install + run Windows 2003

sql-server windows-server-2003 sql-server-2012

I can't seem to find any information but can I install SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition on a server running Windows Server 2003 R2 x64?

I don't intend to use this for production just for testing and I am unable to rebuild the OS at the moment.


No. According to the well hidden and difficult to follow documentation on MSDN (here) it requires Windows 2008 / Windows Vista or later.
