I'm running a VirtualPC 2007 VM with Windows2003 as the OS. Inside of this I am using a web based VPN to connect to my client's network. I cannot use this VPN from my host machine because it does not work with Vista (still!). Inside the VM I'm connecting to a Terminal Server at the client site which I'm logging into using their domain...
Is there an official way for an application to determine if it is running in VMWare or Virtual PC (or whatever Microsoft is calling it now)? The code I have seen is usually a hack that took advantage of some odd behavioral side effect in a specific version of VMWare or Virtual PC. Ideally Delphi code, but if you can link to an offici...

Hello. Does anyone know how to install a Vista UPGRADE edition to a virtual machine? Id like to use it for testing with older versions of .NET, but it wont let me install the upgrade version. I'd rather not have to install XP and then Upgrade it. Its a licensed legal copy with CD-Key and all. It just wont install to an empty VM because i...

Specifically, I would like to be able to debug and run VB6 web apps from a folder on the host pc. My constraints are as follows: The VirtualPC will not be registered on the domain...
Is there a way to interact with Virtual PC1? Looking to do basic things like startup and shutdown (with choice of save or turn off etc..) specific VM's. Any solution other than simulating key presses would be fine, for example WMI COM+ ADSI PowerShell 1 - Specifically for Virtual PC as in Microsoft Virtual PC (i.e. the one that r...
My coding platform is a Vista machine with 4GB RAM. And while the machine is slick, I know there are 800MB of RAM that is not used at all. (only about 3.2GB or 4GB is used). can I installed something to help my platform for coding? I think Wubi will not be able to use those RAM, but VMware or VirtualPC might be? Or a RAM disk so tha...

This is basically a duplicate of this question, but the accepted answer was "no" and I would like to keep this question open until getting an actual answer instead of accepting "NO" and giving up. Stephen Rose told me via Twitter DM to use PowerShell to start and stop Virtual PC VM's and do things like run installations, automatic updat...

After having had a dev PC HD corrupt, I'm considering the idea of making my development environment be fully Virtual PC based. The core items would be: - XP Pro 32 - IIS - VS2003 - VS2008 - SQL Server 2005 - Office 2003 Primary source would reside on a server in SVN with only a clocal copy on the VPC. This would be for Windows based we...

I have searched online, but have not been able to find any. Note, I am actually looking to avoid using the bloated VMware Server 2.0, with its web interface and resource hun...
The last time I wanted to test IE6 with the developer toolbar enabled, I simply installed Microsoft Virtual PC, downloaded the XP with IE6 VMC and away I went. However, I'm trying to do this today and having a nightmare of a time. It seems that Microsoft, although providing Microsoft Virtual PC, are no longer providing VMCs on their "I...
