The standard installer includes more recent version of external libraries, which have been compiled with Visual C++ 2010 and therefore don't run on Windows 2000. The alternative installer still uses the older ones.
Microsoft already stopped Windows 2000 support so there will be no more security updates. Therefore I don't think it makes sense to keep supporting it.
