![]() I have used this fix and managed to get Windows 95 installed and working properly in Virtual PC 2007 on the 2.5GHz AMD computer described earlier. There is a fix made by a Windows 95 user and described at I had this problem when attempting to install Windows 95 in Virtual PC 2007 on a computer with a 2.5GHz AMD quad core processor. Re: Installing Virtual PC 2007 SP1 on Windows 8 Product name Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1Ĭopyright Microsoft Corporation. I don't know whether simply replacing the old vmm.sys (if it exists) with the updated version will work.Įxamining details for VMM.sys by right-click\Properties provides this info: The "VMM" is in capital letters for some reason. I found VMM.sys in theĬ:\Windows\System32\drivers folder. But so far it works.īut what a lot of fuss to go through to install something that used to work right off the bat with XP, Vista, and even Windows 7. It remains to be seen whether Virtual PC will be as stable as it was on XP. ![]() After the Windows 98 install completed, I did the usual configuring I do with Windows 98 - getting rid of excess desktop shortcuts, setting IP to use Windows Logon so I don't have to log in every time, and changing the desktop background to black. Windows 98 installed as usual, taking less time than it took to install Windows Phone SDK 7.1. ![]() But it was easy to fix by selecting "Use Physical Drive" in the toolbar. ![]() It gave me an argument about where the CD drive was, which I didn't remember from last time I installed Virtual PC. And the update was no slouch in the installation length department either.Īfter both were done, I rebooted the computer, just in case it was necessary. Of course the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 had one of those installs where you leave the computer and come back in an hour to see if it's finished. And surprisingly, after installing the gfwlivesetup.exe, the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 setup started worked properly without needing any kind of compatibility setting. But I'd made my restore point before installing Virtual PC, so I gave it a try. They suggested installing the latest version of "Games for Windows - Live Redistributable." It sounded like a scheme to get you to install the Games for Windows client. So I looked for how to solve a problem with Windows Phone 7.1 not installing, and found this site And the Windows Phone 7.1.1 update wouldn't install if you didn't already have Windows Phone SDK 7.1 installed. However I ran into the same problem installing from the DVD. iso for Windows Phone SDK 7.1 and tried downloading that, burning it to DVD, and installing. Same thing happened - It copied files to the Temp folder, but then refused to install. The download (vm_web2.exe) was a web install, so I found a complete, non-web installer for Windows Phone SDK 7.1 and attempted to install that both with and without compatibility mode. ![]() However the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 refused to install. So following a suggestion in the ***Technet forum*** I attempted to download and install Windows Phone SDK 7.1 But when I tried to start the Virtual Machine to install Windows 98, it spewed an error about vmm.sys and said I had to reboot Windows 8. However it wouldn't run - it produced a box saying it wouldn't work on my operating system (and little else).įollowing some suggestions I found on the Internet, I tried renaming the exe file to vpc.exe and setting vpc.exe to run in XP SP3 compatibility mode. This is what I had to go through to get Virtual PC 2007 working on Windows 8:įirst I downloaded the Virtual PC 2007 SP1 for 64bit Windows from ***Microsoft***. ![]()
