I tried installing the Connect SW on Win2k, and adding the "-a" to the "run" dialog. For me, it worked just fine. (I do not have a reader, but I wanted to be able to convert my e-books to the reader format for sale, and evaluate them on my PC.)
I had a similar thing happen to me when I clicked on the Connect Store icon. Everything else works okay.
Did the software you tried to install come on a CD with the reader? If so, perhaps the CD has an additional instruction to look for the reader that is throwing things off.
I downloaded the SW from Connect's website, and used that. If that works, you should be able to plug in the reader, then use the CD to load the drivers.

I'm sure Sony simply doesn't want to get bogged down with supporting older Windows formats... coupled with the fact that Windows post-2000 is designed to be more easily scanned by vendors, so they can check your HW and SW and monitor for illegal file use and sharing...
