Install SQL server 2003 on Windows Server 2012

We have a client that needs to keep SQL Server 2003 due to their software. We purchased a new Dell server running Windows Server 2012. I cant find anything on this online. Does anyone have some guides or a link that can guide us on installing SQL Server 2003 on our Dell PowerEdge running Windows Server 2012? Thanks in advance.

They have SQL Server 2005 installed. The question is can it be installed on server 2012  and Microsoft wont support any issues or you  just cant install it period?
It is not a supported install on 2012
