Make 'Workstation' out of ReactOS
The installer didn't want install the program due to "Windows Server is not supported by this software" error. So change ReactOS edition by setting a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions\ProductSuite from Terminal Server to Workstation and ProductType from ServerNT to WorkstationNT. Also set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ReactOS\Settings\Version\ReportAsWorkstation to 1. After these manipulations finally rebooted the system and software installs correctly. It's determined that it use workstation Windows, not server.

In our Test Case the ReacOS-VM shouldn't be rebooted after adding the Registry-Keys! Install immediately after adding them!

The Registry-Keys in our repo:
