Vista - Vista and VPC/VMware

Hi,
Back to what this ng's about.
I've tried running VPC2004 and WMware workstation 5.? on Vista; with no
luck; hung installs.
KP pointed out a solution;but alas; I deleted it.
So; any help??

Jeff

Am running three diffeent boxes with Vista, and neither workstation 5+ or
server work on any of them. Have no info on workarounds. Believe the server
version of VPC does work (?2005), but that is about all. Good luck.

Here it is again: Try using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 (It's Free), or
Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 Service Pack 1 Beta (if you have access to
it on Microsoft Connect), installation instructions can be found here (Zack

From Jonathan Maltz: "For VPC, after you load the program, load Task
Manager and kill the "dwm.exe" process. Then, right click an icon in the
quick launch bar and choose "Run as Administrator." This will cause the UAC
window to dim the screen, and that will fix everything."
