Seems to be working! It looks like shutting down and restarting again may be what fixed my problem. This time I took a different approach and selected Virtual Machines from the Windows Virtual PC folder and double-clicked the Windows XP virtual machine. I’m going to shut down my machine, just in case I should have powered off after changing my BIOS setting. It’s annoying, but just so you know… I can see their reasons for doing it, though. Oh, before I go to bed (or drink… you choose), I want to let you know I had to go through all those config steps again. Well, time to play with this more tomorrow… will continue in about 12 hours. Unfortunately, Virtual Windows XP doesn’t believe me. I changed the setting to enable virtualization in my BIOS. Why can’t this version? Anyway, doesn’t mean it won’t run … just means I have to go change the setting in my BIOS. Virtual PC ran without hardware virtualization. I got sooooooooooo far, and then it wouldn’t run.

That’s OK – I’d expect a new Windows 7 feature to ask my permission. It’s extracting the virtual hard disk (VHD) file for the virtual Windows XP instance. administrators don’t want more installers. Suggestion to Virtual Windows XP team: Include Windows Virtual PC with the installer, basically making this an all-in-one package. Oddly enough, it’s called “Setup for Virtual Windows XP”, although it’s really the second step of a two-step process.

Now it’s time to install the pre-configured hard disk. No worries, though, I’m sure everything will turn out just fine. Note: I, umm, accidentally installed the following XP Mode installer *first*, so my apologies if your experience in the Start menu is a little different at this point. Ok, Windows Virtual PC is now installed, as you can see in the following figure.įigure 5. Windows Virtual PC gets installed.įigure 4. Agree to the EULA for the pre-release software.įigure 3.

Below are the screen shots from the experience with my notes along the way. It *is* a separate download, so make sure you get it on May 5 when the general public can grab the Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate).
