While setup with -a switch works fine (thanks to igorsk), you still need one extra step from the kacir's hack.

After connecting Reader to W2k computer you will be prompted to provide USB driver. By default New Hardware wizard will try to locate driver in the “C:\windows\Drivers" folder. Not surprisingly, with no luck, because Sony Reader USB driver actual location is "C:\Program Files\Sony\CONNECT Reader\Data\bin\"

So, just click "Browse" and point HW to this folder.

I'm still wondering, why Sony prohibits W2K installation?
