Guys

I'm running Vista Ultimate 64bit and I'd like to install XP Pro SP3 under virtual pc 2007

When I try to install the free virtual pc 64bit I get the error below?

What's the best to use VMware?

Few things I need to do in XP and dual boot is a pain!
 
OK trying to install virtualbox and get the same issue and Virtual PC 2007??

Goes to install the stops and revters back :confused:

Installing - VirtualBox-1.6.4-Win_amd64.msi

Am I doing something wrong?
 
Apparently there is an issue with installing this on Vista b4bit for some users?

Starts install and then rolls back? I have UAC off and I'm using the one and only admin account?

It trys to install into programfiles and not programfiles(x86) when I click browse to install in to x86 the install bomobs out ???

But you're installing the 64 bit version (VirtualBox-1.6.4-Win_amd64.msi) so why would you want it in Program files (x86)? Have you actually tried allowing it to install where it wants to, out of interest?

That's the issue it won't install, get so far and rolls back :(

Correct about the x86 was being thick and desperate :)

try creating a new user account and installing in that..

virtualpc is the fastest vm

I'll give that a bash but still means I'd have to jump from one user to another to access it, defeats the point of doing in though....

Thanks guys

I'll try and report back, I really wanna try virtualbox though as everyone seems to like it and it free :D
