I now have VPC6 w/ Win2K and VPC7 installed w/ both Win2K & WinXP.
All run fine.
I am now ready to un-install VPC6 & its Win2K. AND, eliminate all
the .vhd ,vhdp, and ,vpc6 files thatare located on a separate Partiton/
Volume. the *default* Virtual PC List has the necessary aliases
pointing to the different files for VPC 6 or 7 to find.
1) Should I run Uninstall from the VPC6 CD and *hope* it will ONLY
delete the files for IT and not any VPC7 files?
2) Does the Uninstaller ONLY delete the Mac programs? Or does it
delete the guest OSes as well?
3) Is there a manual process I could follow to delete VPC6 & its
Win2K?
All comments are welcome.
[NOTE] The reason for separate OS files from the running VPC is to
shorten Mac backup time (SuperDuper!). The 2 Guest OS files usually
run over 3-4.5 GB each. And I don't back them nearly as often as I do
Tiger (10.4.11). My use of Windows is infrequent: I occasionally need
IE and Framemaker which are not on the Mac anymore. But I *do* backup
the Guest OSes 3 or 4 times a year.

=================================================
UPDATE:
I decided to use <appzapper> to uninstall VPC 6's app & its
connections to Tiger.
AppZapper came up with add'l items... including
"com.microsoft.VirtualPC.plist" and a folder of VPC 6 Preferences.
Well, if anyone else does this, leave the MSFT plist alone. It was put
there by VPC 7. whereas VPC 6 put theirs in a folder. Also, AppZapper
listed several Receipt packages.. all of which belong to VPC 7.
Other than those items, the uninstall of VPC 6 is done.
