From: Colin Barnhorst on 7 May 2007 13:33 You may be thinking of VPC and Virtual Server working side by side. Only one version of VPC can be installed on a machine at any given time. The easiest solution for the OP is to install VPC 2004 on Windows in a virtual machine and then move the virtual machine additions .iso to his host computer. VPC won't run in the vm but it will install. "Karl E.

Well, dunno what to say, other than, "Works here!" :-) Not sure I fully recall the order I installed them in. Seems like I had 2007, then uninstalled that, installed 2004, then 2007 again. But, I used the custom install option, and told it to go to separate folders: C:\Program Files>tree "Virtual PC" Folder PATH listing Volume serial number is 00000073 E48C:6871 C:\PROGRAM FILES\VIRTUAL PC +---2004 � +---1031 � +---1033 � +---1036 � +---1040 � +---1041 � +---3082 � +---Documentation � � +---English � � +---French � � +---German � � +---Italian � � +---Japanese � � +---Spanish � +---Utility � � +---VMNetSrv � +---Virtual Machine Additions +---2007 +---1031 +---1033 +---1036 +---1040 +---1041 +---3082 +---Documentation � +---English � +---French � +---German � +---Italian � +---Japanese � +---Spanish +---Utility � +---VMNetSrv +---Virtual Machine Additions C:\Program Files> True, I can't run them both at the same time, but I certainly can run them individually at will. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

Not a bad way to do it if you have DOS or Win95 guests. I might have to try this myself. <g> -- Bob Comer <Microsoft MVP Windows - Virtual Machine> On Mon, 7 May 2007 10:55:36 -0700, "Karl E.
