I have Windows XP running inside Windows 7 via Virtual PC (XPMode). Now I want the IE6 browser inside the virtual XP guest instance to be able to talk to the IIS webserver running in the host OS (Windows 7 IIS 7.5). I understand I need to setup a Loopback Adapter which I have done, but I'm not quite sure how to go about configuring it. ...

When running an ASP.NET web application on a local development machine, e.g. http://devmachine:1234, I would like to connect to that machine from a virtual pc that uses different browsers. As far as I know the development webserver only serves traffic for the local machine. Is there a program / proxy that I can run on my local developme...
I've written a few winform apps in .net 2.0 which won't run in a virtual XP (running from VirtualBox). I get the error "unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application" (.NET Framework Initialization Error). I've tried fixing the installation of .net and also installing v3.5. I think it's probably a security issue rathe...
I would like to test my web app in other browsers. I have installed Virtual PC to do just that. the ASP.NET development server does not allow remote connections so the virtual pc (another computer on the network) cannot access the website. I found this post that was started but there was no solution. I understand that using localhost w...
My associate is using Win 7 Pro 64bit, and running an MS Access 2003 application in a Virtual PC (setup as Win XP). It appears that the Access command line arguments are being ignored: both /cmd [myString], and /decompile. Although not a crucial problem, has anyone else come across this - or other MS Access probs whilst running in VPC?...

I am building a library of virtual machines for development purposes. I need a way to document each virtual machine. When developers need a particular virtual machine they can just browse a catalog and find the most appropriate. Much of the software we develop is version dependent and we have many customers on different revisions. In...

I am working on some method to protect my software with a license. Doing some wmi calls to uniquely distinguish computers and making sure there cannot be loaded multiple instances of the application. I came to think though when the application is installed on a virtual machine (MS Virtual PC, VMWare, Virtual Box etc.) and licensed on th...
I've read that Windows Virtual PC comes with a COM interface (VirtualPC.Application). I've read blogs about how to use it from Powershell. But how can I use it from c#? Specifically, is there a Primary Interop Assembly (PIA) that I can use in c# to get intellisense in visual studio? ...

Looking for ideas on how to detect when our Windows application is running in one of the following VM environments. Some starter ideas for detection are in parentheses. There may be (much) better detection techniques - the starter ideas I've come up with are based on my Google research. VMWare (looking for the presence of optional VMwa...
Are there any tools available for converting a desktop vista machine into a virtual machine to run with MS Virtual PC? I am buying a new workstation and would like to virtualize my old machine onto the new one. I know of the tools for Hyper-V, but i'll be running Win7 on the new machine, not Hyper-V server. ...
I'd like to create a VM in Virtual PC 2007 for use as a development environment/sandbox for an existing ASP.NET application in Visual Studio 2005/SQL Server 2005 (and VSS for source control). I'm thinking that I need to create a 'base' copy of the environment (with the os, Visual Studio, and Sql Server), and then copy that to a 'work' ...
