Vista Home Premium .. Can't install Virtual Server.. so how do Iautomatically start a Virtual PC without a login?

Hello.

Virtual PC 2007
Vista Home Premium Host
Windows 2003 Server Guest

I need the Guest running at all times. Some times we have power
failures .. mostly from weather. My host comes up automatically.. but
does not log in automatically.

I currently have the Guest loading up as soon as I log in.. but
naturally.. I may not know it went down or be around.

Any way to automatically start Guest even WITHOUT A LOGIN?

BTW, Microsoft does not allow me to install Virtual Server on Vista
Home..

Thanks for any help or information!

In what way does Microsoft not allow you to install VS2005?
Are you referring to the disclaimer about the host being unsupported?
That does only mean that you are not eligible to call in to MS for
support if something strange happens, it does not mean that
installation fails.

Probably IIS related. So the OP would need to try and use VMRC+
instead of the default install.
