Failure to install Windows XP Mode under Win7

After (apparently successful) installation of 500-megabyte "Windows XP Mode," installation of 10-megabyte "Windows Virtual PC," after reboot, reports "Failure configuring Windows updates / Reverting changes." Event viewer shows "Package
KB958559 failed to be changed to the Installed state. Status: 0x80004005." (Naturally, no WinXPMode is available on the Start menu.)
Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on a Sony Vaio Z93 (3 gHz, 8G, 2x256G SSD).
Internet search produced: a) One user reported that uninstalling McAfee solved a similar problem, but I have no McAfee products installed. b) Another user reported that a problem could be too many "network filters," but I don't know how to "fix" that--it's
true that I have at least five NICs (802.3, 802.11x, Bluetooth, 3G, OpenVPN) but I use them all. c) Another user reported the problem could be corrupted registry entries but I'm not sure how to check that.
Suggestions welcome ... Thanks!

Hi,
I would like to suggest you perform the following steps to install Windows XP Mode.
1.
Update the BIOS from the manufacturer
2.
Install the
System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7
3.
Temporarily uninstall the third party antivirus program and firewall
4.
Boot into
Clean Boot
5.
Download and install
Windows XP Mode, Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode update manually
Does it work?

HT1338 Has anyone successfully installed Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC software inside Windows 7 Pro inside Parallels 8 inside Mountain Lion running on a Mac Pro built in 2013?

I wanted to ask if anyone using a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, Parallels 8, and Windows 7 Pro could run XP Mode?
My experience has not been encouraging in that I progress to the end of the final mile, that is configuring XP Mode for first use, then an error message appears saying I should try again, that is I should attempt to configure XP Mode again for the first time use. An endless loop, with no visibility into the nature of my configuration failure.
I understand my problem is a narrowly focused, microsoft-centric issue, however, I would imagine this XP behavioral Mode running inside Windows 7 Pro is a common goal for many users, so I thought this question was reasonable to ask our group.
Please advise, and thank you.

Hello FatMac,
I wanted to let you know that your "requires a patch" feedback looked--at first--like the piece of the puzzle I was missing. Turned out, however, when I downloaded the 64 bit version of the patch, then attempted to install it under Windows 7 Pro, my installation was first searched, then my patch installation returned a message saying this patch was not applicable to my system. (BTW:my Windows 7 install is 64 bit) This failure to install surprised me because, based on an earlier evaluation for hardware virturalization support, my MacPro does not have virturalization hardware support. I mean, based on this no hardware support feedback, and based on the nature of this patch, it looked as if the patch should install and set my problem right.
Nevertheless, the patch won't install, and I don't know a way to query or coerce it. I'm approaching the point of diminishing returns with this problem. I have two applications (Adobe Illustrator 10 and Framemaker 7.0) which will run, but they don't behave properly, under Windows 7. BTW: I did make somewhat extensive use of the Windows compatibility tool early on, but nevertheless, FrameMaker 7 simply quits at the worst possible moment, and Illustrator 10 graphics are very often blank black areas where pallettes should be.
Thanks again for your thoughts and help. I believed we were heading down the right track, but for reasons not visible to me, (the user), the patch that should fix this problem will not install...
If there is any saving grace to this situation, my problem is repeatable. I mean, it's not on-again/off-again. When I attempt to configure XP Mode for its first use, the progress bar turns red at the final second, then complains that it could not complete its setup. Please Try Again recouts its final advice. (Famous words marking the beginning of an endless loop:-)
Were it not for Illustrator and FrameMaker, I would not have taken us down this dark road.
So long for now, and hope to talk to you all again soon...

Virtual XP Mode Under WIN7

I have virtual XP under WIN7 that worked great in last 5 year.
Recently installed iolo system shiled on it and since I do not see the START menu. XP comes up in small window with no option to resize.
I do have WindowsXPMode_en-us and Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg installed. when trying to reinstall both file, I am getting error message that they are already installed.
Should I un-install and re-install? What are side effects? Am I going to loss my VM data?
HELP !!! HELP !!! HELP !!!
On C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines i see 3 files:
Windows XP Mode type of virtual hard disk size 42GB
Windows XP Mode type of virtual machine setting file size 16KB
Windows XP Mode.vmc.vpcbackup size 16KB
also integration features are turn ON even when manually i turned on via SETTINGS on Windows XP Mode file in C:\Users\MyName\Virtual Machines.
when XP comes up, "Enable Integration Features" is greyed-out.

Just make a copy of the VM file and it's associated files off to a network share or hard disk or something. Of course make sure the VM is shut down if you can. There's a fair to middling chance you have scotched your Windows 7 system completely.
There are a lot of those "shield" programs out there but QUITE A LOT of them are cheats, and only designed to further screw up your system. When you attempt to uninstall them they destroy things on the way out. A very common target is
networking - you uninstall the shield program and it destroys the networking stack in Windows then you cannot even download any sort of repair utility. Unless of course you call the company that wrote the "shield" program where they get your
credit card number and pass that to criminals that empty your bank account.
Once you have the shield program off the system, if your virtual XP does not come back, then uninstall it and reinstall it. If that doesn't work, then your hosed. Copy your data files off, wipe and reload. do NOT install the RDP update
that will come down in Automatic Updates as that is incompatible with virtual PC. Then install virtual PC and copy back your VM files and your back in business. And in the future stay away from the shield and PC fixit programs written by hole-in-the-wall
companies. You have absolutely no clue how expensive it is today to staff a full blown virus lab. That is why Avast, McAffee, Trend Micro, Symantec Antivirus, Sophos and the other big antivirus names out there cost a lot of money.
If you cannot afford a big name brand antivirus software, then use the free Microsoft Security Essentials. And for goodness sake, buy an external USB disk and turn on Windows Backup.

Consistent failure at installing Windows 7 with BootCamp

A couple of weeks ago the 1TB hard drive of my mid-2010 21.5 inch iMac died, and I had it replaced with a 2TB hard drive.
As an architect, it is important for me to have access to Windows 7 (at least) so that I can make use of the Autodesk Revit software, among other programs. It is very important that I install Windows 7 on my new hard drive ASAP!
My SuperDrive seems damaged; it has trouble reading disks, as well as burning them (i.e. it simply cannot burn disks) and to circumvent this I purchased an external disk drive (a "LaCie Slim DVD" USB connected disk drive) which I have plugged in to my iMac. While I can confirm that this drive works fine - it was capable for one of burning a disk at 8x - I am encountering a problem when I try to restart the computer and commence installing Windows 7.
Specifically, I get a black screen (in the microsoft DOS kind of style) with a line of text saying, roughly: 'No boot disk detected -- please insert a boot disk and press any key to continue'.
Obviously, my boot disk is inserted. I have tried using Startup Disk to force the computer to use the disk in my external disk drive, but it hasn't worked. I have even tried using the old, damaged SuperDrive in the iMac but it presents me with the same screen. Sometimes it seems as though the external drive isn't activated when I start the computer - but other times it does have a glowing green light and makes that disk drive noise - even when the black screen with 'No boot disk detected -- please insert a boot disk and press any key to continue' is showing.
So what is my ultimate question?
How can I install Windows 7 on my iMac with a busted SuperDrive, using my external Disk drive that my computer seems to be ignoring?
I know MacBook Air laptops are capable of installing Windows with a USB - is that right? - can a very clear tutorial be provided to me as to how I can go about doing this?
I simply have to have this installed on my computer so I can access Revit ASAP, please help!

There could be another workaround, but I hesitate to mention it:
Install Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac and use it to create a Windows 8.1 virtual machine.
DISCLAIMERS:
1. I have not tried Parallels Desktop 9 under Mavericks, nor Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp under Mavericks, so this is not a personal endorsement, nor can I provide specific help because I'm still using Parallels 7, and Windows 7, not Parallels 9 and Windows 8.1
2. Parallels probably does not provide adequate performance for your Windows application software, compared with a Boot Camp installation.
3. There could well be compatibility issues with your Windows software and hardware. The mainstream stuff like Microsoft Office is fine. The more esoteric the software and more specialized the hardware (digitizers, plotters, 3-D printers), absolutely no guarantees.
So, Parallels 9 allows you to create virtual Windows machines that DO NOT REQUIRE BootCamp partitions, and you can install a legitimate copy of Windows from either a DVD or USB.
If you still want to give it a shot, download a free full version of Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac for a 14-day free trial here:
http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/#tab4
Once the free trial has expired, it's $79.99 to purchase a license for one machine. You do not have to re-install and re-download if you purchase a license. you simply install the license code into the trial copy. If you already own a recent version of Parallels, there might be a less expensive upgrade available for $49.99.
I have successfully installed my legitimate OEM copy of Windows 7 64-bit copied to a USB stick, while running OS X 10.8.5 with Parallels 7, and my legitimate OEM copy of Windows XP from CD. It's not strictly plug and play. You do have to configure the Parallels Desktop settings to know where to look for the Windows installation files.
There is also VMware, and other virtual-machine software out there, but I have no experience with them.

Windows XP Mode in Win7 off-screen?

When I open Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Enterprise the icon appears on the task bar but it can not be made to open on-screen, nor can it be closed by using the close-window selection on the drop-down screen.
Hitting alt/tab shows it with the other running programs, but clicking on it only returns to the desktop.
Clicking on the task-bar icon causes a rapid transparent box to move to the lower right side of the screen very rapidly, clicking again makes the same transparent box to move rapidly to the task-bar icon.
Could it be that the window somehow moved off the screen? If so, how to get it back. I've tried deleting the .vsv file, but that does not cause any apparent change.
Anyone heard of this before - and hopefully a fix?
Aboonah

No help there...and this is a single-monitor set-up.
Another thing I experienced since posting the original question: I tried to simply open the application I need to run - by clicking on it in the Virtual XP Applications folder.
The application opened and ran. I could read and write data, but could not print. When I attempted to print, the application crashed each time.
I also cannot close the XP virtual machine icon on the task-bar. I have to use task-manager to close the process.

Failure to install Windows 7

I tried to install Windows 7 on my 1st gen MacBook Air using Boot Camp Assistant of OSX 10.6.8 without success and need assistance. Boot Camp Assistant could not create a new partition for Windows. I tried to defrag the hard disk using iDefrag without success. Can someone give me further advice what else I can do to accomplish this job. Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I do not know how to clone my drive to an external drive. Do I need any software to do so? Can you point me to some where to have steps how to accomplish it. Thanks!

Brand New T430 and Failure to Install Windows Updates

I have built many systems as well as purchased and configured laptops but this one has me stumped. I have attempted several times to intall Windows updates on my brand new T430 but when the system goes to install them it eventually says that there was a failure to do so and the laptop will revert back. Thinking it might be due to updates via wirelessly I have tried it via ethernet connection but with the same results.
I have tried it by turning off security software and the firewall but the same thing occurs.
Please, any tips here? Thanks.

I want to install Photoshop cs5 (!) under Win7. Where can I download the 64bit Version (German)?

Where can I download the 64bit Version (German)?
Thank you.

Per the Photoshop CS5 specs:
Photoshop CS5.1 runs 64-bit native on Mac OS X, Microsoft® Windows Vista®, and Windows® 7 platforms. It can also run in 32-bit mode across all platforms, including Windows XP. 64-bit users should realize noticeably greater gains in performance, in some cases as dramatic as ten times the previous speed.
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

Windows XP mode with Virtual PC will not install / two problems

Hello! I posted this on the Microsoft Windows Answers forums and a moderator there suggested I post it here instead. I also searched here for similiar problems but did not find anyone having the exact same problem as I am having. Also for
some reason it won't let me post links, so I had to remove them.
I have Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and I want to follow the instructions here:
LINK REMOVED
to install and run Virtual PC so I can see if some legacy XP software I have will work.
I am using a Lenovo W520 laptop with an i7 at 2.4ghz with 8GB of RAM.
I followed step 1/step 2 and downloaded the 500MB file for Windows XP Mode. I installed it.
Problem #1: There's a note at the bottom of the page which says "Once you have installed Windows XP Mode, click the Windows 7 Start button then select All Programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode to begin setup. For information on how
to set up Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, check out "Running Windows XP Mode with Windows Virtual PC" on the Support and Videos page. "
I am looking at the All Programs view and there's absolutely nothing which says "Windows Virtual PC" or "Windows XP Mode". I go look at Programs and Features in the control panel and indeed, Windows XP mode is installed (and taking up 1.13GB).
I uninstall it and re-download the 500mb file and re-install it. It still doesn't show up in the All Programs view, doesn't add an icon to my desktop or quick launch bar, or do anything which suggests a way to start it. It resides in C:\Program
Files\Windows XP Mode, but there are no executeable files there.
Problem #2: Step 3 says "Download Windows Virtual PC". When I click on that button, the download starts, but never works (I tried multiple times, including after a clean reboot, with nothing except Internet Explorer running) ; I get an error
window which says:
"Windows Update Standalone Installer
Installer encountered an error: 0x80070422
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."
What is going wrong?
Thanks.
Note; After posting this questio on Windows Answers, some related questions popped up and I read through them. One post points to a posting on the Sevenforums ->LINK REMOVED which suggests that Problem #2 is my real problem because I follow
along perfectly until step #5-E and then I get the 0x80070422 error message.

Problem 2 is the issue, without installing a virtualization program like WVPC, XP Mode can't be used.
Try this:
Method 1:
I would suggest you to follow the steps and check.
To start the Windows Installer service in Windows 7 checks the steps below.
a) Click on start.
b) Type Services.msc in the start search bar and press enter.
c) Scroll down and Double-click on the service named "Windows Installer".
d) Check the value in the 'Startup type:' field.
e) If it's currently set to "Disabled", then this could cause the issue.
f) Change it by selecting "Manual" from the drop-down box.
Method 2:
Step 1: Make sure Volume Shadow Copy Service is set to automatic and started. To do this, follow these steps:
a) Click on Start-Run, type services.msc, the click on OK.
b) When the Services window loads, navigate to the “Volume Shadow Copy Service ", the double click on it to open it,
c) Make sure the "Startup Type" says "Automatic" and
started. If it doesn't, use the drop down menu to change it.
d) If it already says: "Automatic", then click on the "Recovery" tab at the top, and change the "First Failure" line to "Restart the Service", then click on "apply", then OK.
Step 2: Run Check disk to fix any bad sectors on the hard drive.
a. Click on start and in the start search bar type CMD, right click on the command prompt icon in the programs area and then click on run as administrator.
b. At the command prompt type chkdsk /f and then press enter.
Now, type in chkdsk /r
Note: CHKDSK would try to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, during this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular sector.
Step 3: Disable the security software and then start the backup; follow the steps mentioned in the link below
Disable-antivirus-software
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Disable-antivirus-software
Important: Enable the security software back once everything is done.
Method 3;
“0x8007042c” error message when you try to start Windows Firewall
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2530126
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Note: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.

Install Instructions for Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 running in Boot Camp

These are the instructions I used to install Windows XP Mode on my 27" iMac while booted into Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on the Boot Camp partition, I posted them in a reply to another thread but thought they might be useful as a higher level topic.
Reboot into Windows 7 on your iMac and follow these instructions:
1. Download and install Windows XP mode from the following Microsoft website. You do not need an XP installation disk, XP will be installed automatically by this process (there are three links to click, in order, to install this. The site will perform a Windows Genuine Advantage check and you may need to make sure your browser allows certain items or the install will stall until you do, look for warnings or permissions during installation in the menu bar of the browser):
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
2. After you complete the 3rd installation step, check your Start menu in Windows 7 and look for Windows Virtual PC. Open it and double click Windows XP Mode (it should be the only thing in there) to boot up XP.
3. You can adjust the amount of RAM you allocate to XP mode by going to the Start Menu --> Windows Virtual PC again, then right click on Windows XP Mode, then choose Settings.
It works great but I can't get it to fill my 27" screen in full screen mode, let me know if you figure out how to do that. --thanks

Instructions, not a question.

Trouble installing Windows 8.1 with Boot Camp

I'm having an issue installing Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp on one of the new MacBook Pros (late 2013). After sever troubles (and not a few tribulations) fighting with the stupid Windows installer program (couldn't Microsoft just let me download a freakin' ISO?) I got the installer running after creating the partition, but at the end of the Windows install, I get:
Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed.
Googling around for a solution I found several references to UEFI problems, along with a couple different procedures that were claimed to work. Unfortunately, these procedures were pretty lengthy and require several third party tools -- and I'm not positive they're even applicable because none of them dealt with the newest model of MacBook Pro.
So, can anyone out there point me towards a procedure that's known to work with the new models?
Thanks.

OK... Finally solved the problem during my winter break... took almost 1.5 months Actually we users are creating the problem... Bootcamp is OK... our late 2013 Mac is OK... but Apple is't as it's not giving us the solution Now let me clear concisely what actually occurs behind the problem.
When you open bootcamp to install Windows, you get a popup window. Then you click continue... then you choose the options among the three which suits to your intention. Then if you chose to create a installation disk or/and download the Windows Support Software, bootcamp does so. Then the nextPROBLEMETIC STEP comes! Yes! you got it! This step creates the actual problem: Partitioning the hard disk for installing Windows. Before bootcamp starts partitioning, a simple POPUP WINDOW will inform you whether you will get the f*cking "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed" message or not during your windows installation! Andddd... the popup window is here:
Soooo... super duper simple fact: if you don't get this popup window, you're going to get that error. Because this HELPER TOOL will simulate proper environment for installing Windows in your Mac
Now be sure:
1. You just have one partion in your Hard Disk before partitioning it into two for installing Windows
2. This PARTITIONING SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY BOOTCAMP if you want your Windows in EFI mode. The way jarvil told us is for BIOS mode. I'm not going to explain here what is EFI and what is BIOS. Simply keep in mind that EFI is latest, better and faster for booting your Windows
That's it guys! If you don't get that popup window, follow the instructions:
1. Turn your hard disk into a single partition by using Bootcamp/Disk Utility. Bootcamp is recommended
2. Take a flash drive, format it, and then open Bootcamp
3. Choose all the three options:
     Create a Windows 7 or later vertion install disk
     Download the latest Windows Support software from Apple
     Install or remove Windows 7 or later version
Yes! We are going to create a new installation disk...
4. I know you are clever enough to guess what should you do now! Just enter your password when you get THAT SPECIAL POPUP WINDOW!Then Mac will restart after partitioning your hard disk!
5. Do noting untill the windows installation window comes
6. Go forward pressing Next, putting serial, and accepting the agreement that we never read
7. Select advanced installation... I mean the second option
8. Now find the partition named BOOTCAMP
9. Select it and Format it!
10. Click Next
You are done! Your Mac will install windows without any problem or error message After installation, if you find that your drivers aren't working, go to the installation disk and open the folder named BOOT CAMP. Open the exe named Setup... Install the drivers and restart after completion... Your Mac now owns Windows in EFI mode like mine!
That's all I have known killing my winter break! Thanks everyone! Take care!

Windows XP Mode, Unidentified device fails to attach

Would you please assist me with the following:
I wish to use a CDR 2000 USB x-ray sensor in Windows XP Mode under Windows 7 Pro 64.
There are no drivers available for Windows 7, there are drivers available Windows XP. The sensor works correctly on a Windows XP PC we wish to phase out.
In windows xp mode the usb sensor appears as "Unidentified Device" in the USB pull-down. It shows "attach" to the right. When I select it it reports the error:
Windows XP Mode - Windows Virtual PC
Could not attach the USB device. You can attach the USB device to a different USB port or restart the virtual machine and try again.
I've tried both without success. My system has USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports. I've tried it on both. Device Manager in Windows 7 shows the device when plugged in, though it is as "Unknown device". It never appears in the Windows
XP Mode device manager.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
The drivers for this device might not work in Host, please first check in Device Manager to see if the device could be detected, make sure the BIOS is configured to use USB 2, then redirect the device and install the driver from within Windows XP.
Best regards

Windows XP mode Can't enable integration features

I noticed there are so many threads on this and all the discussions confuse the hell out of me.
Here's how it happened for me: I install Virtual PC, then install Windows XP mode. The VM boots up fine, everything is smooth, I can access my C drive from the VM and run an XP program as if it's operating from my host Win7 machine.
But I have to change the network settings so my bandwidth monitor which doesn't work on Win7 will recognize my host machine's traffic and log it. That requires a restart of XP mode. I do that and that's how this error happens. Now I can't enable integration
features no matter what I do.
I've followed steps in other threads. I deleted the .vsv file, set it to auto shut down or turn off instead of hibernate. The "Enable Integration features" button is greyed out. That cryptography FIPS thing or whatever it is is ALREADY disabled,
always has been. That didn't work for me.
Can anybody help me fix this?

Well, with all the minutia in your post it was difficult to decipher exactly what your were after.
If you have a question you should provide the specifics for the question and leave out all the irrelevant minutia. Details specific to the situation you want to resolve are what's important.

Hi I get "Can't enable Integration Features" error when starting XP mode, please help.
That better?
Either way, I fixed the problem by reinstalling XP Mode.

Can't get Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 to fill 27" screen

I successfully installed Windows XP Mode on my Windows 7 OS running in Boot Camp and it works but the XP VM doesn't fill the 27" screen when I expand it to Full Screen. I get black bars on the left and right side of the XP OS, the top and bottom are filled. I checked the settings on the Display control panel in XP and there are no choices other than the default setting. Does anyone know what to change to make Virtual PC running XP in Windows 7 fill my 27" iMac screen? (That's a mouth full).

Good evening -
Thanks for the response. I loaded drivers from CD. I want to keep the operating system on the 80 GIG ATA drive and use the SATA RAID for programs. The drives show up in the device manager and in the VIA RAID utility that came with the motherboard but I can't see or access them through My Computer. I have tried to set up the RAID through both the Windows software and through the Boot program, but no luck. When I tried to update the drivers from the floppy it said no newer drivers found. (I tried to update drivers through the Device manager.) Also when I deleted the raid and tried to set up the drives individually the same thing happened. Is it possible I don't have the BIOS set up correctly? I am at a loss.
