| | Download issues Does anyone else have a problem downloading Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 x64? When I download the .exe I get an eror message: en_virtual_pc_2007_x64.exe is not a valid win32 application! This is the same if I download from Technet or from Microsoft Download Centre. I have an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 x2 cpu, so I'm sure that this is not the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Regards |

If you are running a 32-bit OS (which your error message indicates) then you should install the 32-bit version of VPC. |

| | Re: Download issues Thank you Bill, I didn't even think of the host O/S. Guess I'll need to upgrade to a 64 bit o/s to run it.
