Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / December 2004

Hi,

I try to install a Windows application I bought, but it can't be installed
because the installer dies everytime it's started. This happens in Win2K and
XP under VirtualPC 7.0.1 on a G5 Powermac (10.3.7).

From what I heard from the application newsgroup this installer runs fine on
"real" x86 hardware. So I guess it must be a problem with the x86 emulation
done by VPC.

Here's the link to the installer:
https://www.letstrade.de/download/update/MG2005/letstradeinstall.exe

I ran the installer in WinDbg (Debugger) step-by-step and  here are the last
two steps with the "Access violation" following:
