OS and in the virtual OS you can control the host machine. Considering that you're looking at the virtual machine via the host machine though, this might make for some interesting infinite loop screen update situation. Apart from something like that, you're as limited as you would be by trying to achieve that on any other two separate PCs, because that's effectively what they are. |

When you install a copy of Windows on a virtual machine, it doesn't know that it's being installed on a virtual machine - it has no need to know that. Same with Office, etc. So, imagine you have two physical machines instead of one physical machine and one virtual machines. If you installed Office on one of the physical machines, could you run it from the other one? It's the same with a virtual machine. 3) Apart from a few very specific cases, a virtual machine is considered the same as a physical machine as far as licensing is concerned. E.g. if you have a copy of Office on your host machine, you can't just install that on a virtual machine without removing it from the host machine first: http://vpc.visualwin.com/ngfaq.aspx#15 -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |

| | Re: link between VP and Host OS Not an expert but I always thought that a network connection between two PCs is enough to install a program located on one to another. On my Win98 VPC, from "my computer" or the "command window" I can see the host desktop, and run a program placed there. Of course there are many considerations required to do this successfully, including network rights (not sure of the term), local paths, licenses, matching the program to the OS, etc. -- Wesley "Robert Comer" wrote: Quote: > Correct, you'd have to also install it in the guest to use it in the > guest. > > -- > Bob Comer > > > On Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:46:00 -0800, Storm > <Storm@xxxxxx> wrote: > Quote: > >so basically, if i have for exam. installed Office on host PC, i cant use it > >on virtual server..? > >********************* > > > >"d d" wrote: > > Quote: > >> Storm wrote: > >> > Is there a way to use all application from host OS in Virtual OS under VP > >> > 2007..? > >> > I installed in virtual PC MS server 2003 and want to use the application > >> > installed on host PC. > >> > >> You can run a VNC server or something like a logmein daemon on the host > >> OS and in the virtual OS you can control the host machine.

| | Re: link between VP and Host OS Most apps these days need a lot more in install to run than just having the files available. (registry entries mainly) Office wouldn't be able to run the way you suggest for example... -- Bob Comer On Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:41:00 -0800, Wesley <Wesley@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: >Not an expert but I always thought that a network connection between two PCs >is enough to install a program located on one to another.

As to your surmisal about installing, it depends on the attributes of the network connection --what you call rights (which is probably a fine way of saying it) FACE |
