Hi All,

I am running Microsoft Virtual PC 6.0.192.0 on Windows 7
Ultimate N. I am unable to successfuly install any Windows 7
virtual machines. They all hang at the "Expanding files..."
point. I have tried multiple different DVDs and different
versions of Windows 7 (English Ultimate, English Ultimate N,
English Enterprise, Japanese etc.).

Anyone have suggestions as to what might be wrong?

Cheers,
Geoff

Are you sure you're giving it enough time? Without hardware
virtualization it's going to be really slow...

Try VMWare Player 3 then. It gives you much more Win7 support than
VPC2007 does!

Hi Bo,

In fact in the mean time I have switched to Sun's Virtualbox.
Seems to be working out ok : I am 5 for 5 successful installs
so far. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Cheers,
Geoff
