Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / February 2006Installing VPC7.0 on MAC OS 10.4.5
I just bought a new iMac G5 (2GHZ). I also just bought VCP 7.0. Unfortunately I am unable to install it. When I first tried it gave me some errors upon restart, then the program kept crashing when I tried to open it. I installed the VCP 7.0.2. upgrade, but VCP continues to crash each time I attempt to open it. Is VCP 7.0.2 compatible with Mac OS 10.4.5? Any suggestions on how to fix this and get VCP to work? Could you be a little more specific? What do you mean 'continues to crash'? What are the error messages? Every time I try to open VPC 7.0.2 I get: The application Virual PC quit unexpectedly Mac OS X and other applications are not affected Click reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to apple. === The report starts out: Date/Time: 2006-02-22 09:21:02.658 -0700 OS Version: 10.4.5 (Build 8G1454) Report Version: 4 Command: Virtual PC Path: /Applications/Virtual PC.app/Contents/MacOS/Virtual PC Parent: WindowServer [65] Rosetta: Yes Version: 7.0.2 (7.0.2) Build Version: 050607 Project Name: Virtual PC Source Version: 110253 PID: 316 Thread: 0 Exception: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (0x0002) Code[0]: 0x00000001 Code[1]: 0x00000000 Thread 0 Crashed: 0 com.microsoft.VirtualPC 0xb8068220 0xb8000000 + 426528 1 com.microsoft.VirtualPC 0xb80818b6 0xb8000000 + 530614 2 com.microsoft.VirtualPC 0xb807b09e 0xb8000000 + 503966 3 com.microsoft.VirtualPC 0xb808f402 0xb8000000 + 586754 4 com.microsoft.VirtualPC 0xb80e46ca spin_lock_wrapper + 5140 and continues with details of each thread. try this: check to see if Virtual PC is listed in Applications. If so, download and update VPC to 7.0.2 from the mactopia.com website. Then launch VPC. BTW: you cannot upgrade to 7.0.2 while VPC is running. You must quit the application first. I have just bought the same imac G5 and had the same problem with Virtual PC ver. 7. even when upgraded to 7.02. It seems as if Virtual PC does not work on the new Intel based imac. By the way, it deletes my wireless set up every time I try to install it. I bought office for mac as well, and that gave no problems. Any ideas? >I have just bought the same imac G5 and had the same problem with >Virtual PC ver. 7. even when upgraded to 7.02. It seems as if Virtual [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Any ideas? Do you have a G5 iMac or an Intel iMac? They are not the same. VPC does not work on an Intel iMac. MS has stated as much. Q. What does the announcement about Intel-based Macs mean for Virtual PC for Mac? A. Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 is still the best emulation solution for users who have PowerPC-based Macs, but it does not run on Intel-based Macs. We are working with Apple to determine the feasibility of developing Virtual PC for Mac for Intel-based Macs. Virtual PC for Mac is highly dependent on the operating system and hardware and will require additional development to run on Intel-based Macs. http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.aspx?pid=macIntelQA  SignatureCheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ "This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Microsoft hasn't announce when they'll support this model with VPC, so you have no option at this point but to buy a cheap PC. There's nothing currently available that will emulate a PC on the new Mactel systems. Sorry. SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee... Aaahhhh Thanks. My new iMac is the Intel Mac not the G5. Thus the problem. Fortunately I should be able to use one of my older Macs and see if that works for what I need VCP for. |
