Rats - I just found out that Microsoft's implementation doesn't support USB. In this day and age, I can'f figure out why, but hey, I NEED to access a USB device and had hoped this would be the simple way to go about it. Back the the drawing board I guess.

Hi,

I am planning to test our software on VPC.

Problem is,

our software installs MSDE, USB drivers and .NET Framework. everything gets installed but the usb drivers. as soon as the usb driver starts to install VPC boots and boots...

everything works great on regular pc.

Configuration:

VPC 2004/2007

Host:Windows 2000 Server

Guest:Windows XP Pro SP2

Please let me know how it can be fixed.

Thanks

Hi Ben,

I am trying to evaluate Windows server 2003 in a virtual lab.

which version should I be using 2005R2 or PC2007 ?

They both run Win Server 2003 guest OS.

The most annoying is when I download 2005 R2 and install completly I do not get any application instlled to run and launch the guest machines, I just get the VMH.exe and vssrvc.exe. both do nothing when double clicked...

At least Virtual PC 2007 allows me to launch the app.

Many thanks

Fid.

Otto,

VPC does not support x64 OSes as guests, only on the host PC.

Michael,

VPC is a 32-bit app, even on a 64bit system. As is VM Ware's Workstation product.

The 64-bit download wants to install under Program Files (x86), the default location for 32-bit programs

Is this expected?

With XP Pro host and a bridged host LAN adapter, the components of the bridged adapter are listed as available adapters in VPC2007's 'Networking Settings'.

This is different from VPC2004 and not documented in release notes. Presumably it means that it's possible to map a virtual adapter to one of the components rather than the combined adapter. Maybe this could be a future blog topic?

Hello Virtual PC Guy :)

My problems were a complete disaster on Windows Vista Home Premium: it seems corruption of a lot of dll.

After the crash i tried to reinstall on my GIGABYTE GA-M51GM-S2G in order:

-- Windows Vista Home Premium

-- Nforce 410 Chipset Drivers with Integrated Graphics- Windows Vista 32-Bit

-- Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs R1.60

-- VPC 2007

The problem now is solved: i didn't install previously Nforce 410 Chipset Drivers

and now system is stable.... (no blue screen, no crash..)

re: Virtual PC 2007 available for download! - PXE

PXE boot won't work in my test environment. The network monitor on the dhcp server (a guest) sees only DHCP DISCOVER packets from the pxe boot guest and DHCP OFFER from the DHCP server. But the DHCP REQUEST packet from the pxe boot guest never arrives to the DHCP server.
