Is it possible to get Virtual PC running on Vista RC1/RC2?

Hi,

I have an issue about Virtual Server and Vista. When I start "Virtual Server Administration Website", IE7 purpose me to download VSWebApp.exe.

Have you got an idea?

Thanks for your help,

Regards,

Michel DEGREMONT.

Hey Ben,

I recently had a hell of a time getting this working on RC1. With the help of Charlie Russel (a fellow MVP) I found out that you ALSO need to make sure that the local machine is in the TRUSTED intranet zone to properly connect up. Once I did that, the "Access Denied" errors went away and I could properly connect.

Thought I would give you the heads up on that.

Tim -

Use VPC 2007 (now in Beta)

Michel -

You need to install CGI support in IIS

Dana -

Thanks for the heads up - I have never hit this cause I always have intranet mode enabled.

Cheers,

Ben

Trying both in Vista RC2 x64. Running into network issues. In Virtual Server R2 x64, the network connection in the virtual machines show as cable disconnected.

In Virtual PC 2007 x64, have the same issue, but with some tweaking, it works for a bit, and then start getting some sparatic issues.

Boot back into XP, same files, and no issues... The virtual machines have real static/dhcp addreses. The host has a broadcom network adapter.

Ideas?
