Virtual PC 2007

I need to know if Virtual PC 2007 works in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit,
because a few days I had a problem about compatibility.

Yes it works. However, it is not supported by Microsoft.

Hello Luis,

I'm sorry, but Vista Home Premium is not supported by Virtual PC 2007.

Shawn,

"Not supported" in this context means no support from Microsoft if you have
problems. Virtual PC installs and works fine in all Home Editions. One
just has to ignore the warning message

Re: Virtual PC 2007

Thank you Jane C,

LOL, I have been using Ultimate so long, I'm forgetting what will and will not work in the Home versions.

Re: Virtual PC 2007

No insult intended at all but - did you install an operating system on
the virtual PC?

I've not seen that message before - are you sure that's exactly what it
said...?

Which operating system are you trying to install? Are you sure the media is
bootable...?
