Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / February 2006Virtual Machine Addition Does Nothing in VPC 7
Upgraded from VPC 6.1.1 to VPC 7.0.2. Imported/Converted Windows 2000 PC from VPC 6.1.1. Windows 2000 and applications run but I can't get the VM Additions to install or update. Is there a force function to make this happen? I waited for Windows 2000 to finish loading and selected Install or update additions from the PC menu. The hourglass twirls for a few seconds then disappears. I tried selecting the DOS VM additions from the Upgrade disk and it does the same thing. I'm running an iMac G4 flat panel at 800 Mhz with 1G memory and Mac OS X 10.4.5. Any hints or help appreciated. B >Upgraded from VPC 6.1.1 to VPC 7.0.2.

Comparing a DOS installation and a Windows installation of any application is completely irrelevant and meaningless. DOS has no GUI, no autorun capability, and many other things that are needed for an installation to automatically start. What happens if you go to My Computer or Windows Explorer and try to run the setup.exe manually?

In this case, you have to go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, remove VM Additions, restart Windows, then install VM Additions and restart Windows again. Remnants of the original Additions are present and are interfering. In fact, you 'may' have to create a new virtual machine with W2K, remove the Additions, update to XP and then install the Additions in order resolve this. I had a similar issue after installing a fresh copy of VPC 7 onto my new iBook G4 and then Windows XP Professional. The hourglass appeared but nothing happened and it didn't install the additions. So I ran it again, and viola! An installer launched and walked me through a quick setup process for the additions and asked me to reboot after it was finished. Solved my problem! Let us know what happens! > Upgraded from VPC 6.1.1 to VPC 7.0.2. Imported/Converted Windows 2000 > PC from VPC 6.1.1.
