From: Rob on 8 Jan 2007 21:58 Good thought, but that didn't do it. I know it invokes msiexec.exe and something around there doesn't work right. I can't get VPC back on until I figure out how to fix it.

I just installed RC VPC2007 for the first time after having VPC2004 working fine and I get the same "A valid Product ID is required to operate Virtual PC. Please re-run the Virtual PC installer and enter a valid Product ID when requested." error. The installer cleaner did not work for me either. Shawn

Right now I have both vista and xp installed on seperate hard drives, and while the install works perfectly on vista, it doesn't ask me to accept the EULA, or where to install on XP. msiexec takes up lots of resources, then after a few seconds seems to be dormant. I've read around alot on the internet and there doesn't seem to be much documentation for this. Is it possible this could be fixed by somehow copying the reg code from a computer that it installs successfully to one it doesn't. I looked around a little, but didn't have much time. I'll dig around tonight when I have more time. AMD X2 XP Pro SP2 -kevin Posted via http://www.VirtualServerFaq.com - Brought to you by Business Information Technology Shop - http://www.bitshop.com
