Why? They seem to work just fine side-by-side.

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.

VPC2004 and VPC2007 cannot be installed side-by-side, when running the
installer for VPC2007, it uninstalls VPC2004...

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

True, I can't run them both at the same time, but I certainly can run them
individually at will.

Not a bad way to do it if you have DOS or Win95 guests. I might have
to try this myself. <g>
