How To Set Up a Virtual Windows 7 Pro OS on a Windows 7 Pro Host - 64-bit

This may be as easy as stating, "Windows 7 Pro 64-bit cannot run on a Windows 7 64-bit host." Most of the documentation I find states something to that effect - however, ALL of that documentation is 5-8 years old. I cannot find ANYTHING in the
last year or so. My hope is that this has changed. All I need/want is to set up a Win7 Pro 64-bit test environment.
I can install Windows Virtual PC successfully. I can run through the wizard to create the .wmcx file. I can successfully mount a Win7 64-bit ISO or point to the CD drive for an installation disc.
What I CAN'T do is successfully load Windows 7 Pro 64-bit in this environment. I receive the following (all details in image):
Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problem..not compatible with 64-bit mode.
I checked my CPU against those that are compatible, and my CPU is not even listed. It's an i7-3770 3.40GHz.
Again, I'm currently running 64-bit Win7 Pro - I just need assistance in installing the VM.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, Bob. That pretty much explains it then. I thought about Hyper-V, but that's a little more challenging in a work environment with all of the approval hoops to jump through.
I also considered VMware Workstation, but I recently heard (internal source) that anyone who hits the VM OS (again, Win 7 Pro 64-bit) has to have a license. Every user. This is apparently something relatively new by MS that came out recently. That's a fundamental
issue for me as I want to set up a VM that I might blow away and reimage at any given point - something that is abnormal for our environment.
Thoughts?
I'm not sure what you mean that everyone who hits the VM OS has to have a license.  There are no licensing differences for Virtual PC or VMware Workstation with regards to what you need to run a VM.

  • How to set up different virtual LANs (using the E3200)?

    Hi.
    I would like to set up different virtual LANs (using the E3200) so that I can have two different networks that can't access each other.
    The E3200 is connected to a modem for internet access.
    I would like both networks to have access to the internet.
    Does the E3200 alone support creating virtual LANs?
    If not, is there another way I can meet the requirement using the E3200 alone (using something other than virtual LANs)?
    I'm ultimately thinking that I would need at least one other router.
    So for example,
    Router A (E3200) is connected to the modem and setup for DHCP using a LAN IP range 192.168.1.1/24.
    Router B is connected to Router A and setup for DHCP using a LAN IP range 192.168.2.1/24.
    In this way devices connected to Router A should not have access to devices connected to Router B and visa-versa, correct?  For example, Device X connected to Router A cannot ping or browse files on Device Y connected to Router B and visa-versa, correct?
    Would I need to setup anything else on Router B?  For example, do I need to setup DNS settings so that devices connected to Router B can connect to the internet without issue?  Would I need to specify that these virtual LANs are not bridged, and on which router, or both?
    I already know how to set up a static IP, DHCP, LAN IP ranges, and static DNS settings on a router, etc.
    In regards to wireless devices, I am thinking they would follow the same pattern; so wireless devices connected to Router A (E3200) have access to other wired and wireless devices connected to Router A but not to wired or wireless devices connected to Router B and visa-versa.  However, if wireless devices currently don't have access to wired devices also connected to Router A, then that is fine for now.
    Thank you very much!

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The E3200 has no VLAN support according to the manual. There's no way to configure two separate networks with this router alone.
    You will need to add network electronics.
    Ex:
    Managed Switch with VLAN
    Another wireless router with VLAN
    If your modem supplies multiple public or private IP addresses then you could put a switch after the modem and two wireless routers attached to the switch.

  • How can I add features to Windows 7 Standard Embedded 64-bit?

    Hey guys,
    I apologize if I am posting in the incorrect place but the embedded forum was specifically for POS Systems it seems.
    My problem is that a third party has provided us with some systems that include Windows 7 Standard SP1 (64-bit) for their operating systems. Obviously the OS is cut down and missing a bunch of features (as an embedded OS should be); I need to add some of
    the Windows 7 features back in. I know how to do this with DISM but can't find any 64-bit features to install as the Standard 7 Embedded Toolkit seems to be 32-bit only?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    For how to add packages into Windows standard Embedded 7 64 bit, I suggest we ask in the following forum:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=quebeceefs
    The reason why we redirect is that you will get more professional response in the proper place.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • How to set up internet connection between MacBook Pro and an old eMac?

    I got an old eMac without wifi and a MacBook Pro. I'd like to share the network connection via ethernet cable to my eMac, but I can't get it work.
    I'd like to use it with screenrecycler and it needs a network connection.
    How to do it? How to set up the connection between the client and the host? Could somebedy give me a step by step guide?
    Thank you very much

    Hello,
    First, are you using Wifi for Internet on the MBP?
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list, Wifi on the MBP.
    In Shating on both, enable File Sharing, Screen Sharing, & Web Sharing on both.
    Then with the Ethernet cable between the two, find the IPs of both, or use Finder>Go>Connect to Server>Browse... see what shows up.

    how do you set up external instrument in logic pro x without triggering the instrument twice - by the external instrument GM device to control playback and playing the instrument itself?  thank you

    I use the local off method but there is another way.
    Go to Settings/MIDI and use the  "Instrument Without MIDI Thru Function" selector to pick the device and channel your hardware keyboard is transmitting on.
    Settings are on a Per Song basis, they're not global like Preferences are.

  • How to set a fixed size window, so that moving 2D pictures wouldnt go off?

    Hi
    I dont if this question has been asked or no & also not sure if its right to be posted here as my problem is a java 2D graphics problem in swing environment.
    I want to know is how can i set the window to a fixed size with boundaries such that my graphics 2D picture in the swing window will not go off the edges of window when i do some transformations with the 2D picture.
    For e.g:
    so far ive got a frame window of size 350 by 350 with my 2D picture inside it made up of shapes etc...
    when i apply some transformation to it (moving it) for a distance it goes disappeared off window beyond 350 and will come back if i move it back.
    So how do i restrict the window so that when picture reaches the edge, it will not be able to move any further?
    Do i set some specific bounds to the JFrame?
    i hope i've explained it properly
    Thanks

    In a 2D coordinate system the horizontal values are represented by some letter, usually x. In the same coordinate system the vertical values are classically represented by y.
    Note: In your code, if you wish, you can replace x and y with anything you desire--p and q or perhaps jeff and alice or any variable name you wish, but for simplicity, and usually ease of understanding because almost everyone has had 100's of math problems drilled into their head with (x, y), x and y are used as convention.
    In Java the screen coordinates run from 0 to the width-1 for x and 0 to height-1 for y of the component you are using to display.
    So logically when you have a value of x or y that goes beyond the addressable bounds of your display, then you have to make some type of adjustment--when your value dips below 0, you reset it to 0, when your value goes above what ever width-1 or height-1 then you have to set that value to width-1 or height-1.
    This all assumes that when you hit the wall, floor, or ceiling you stick there until you change directions--if you wish to wrap then you set your value to the opposite bound--so if you go below 0, you would then pop out back in on the right side--your appropriate x would be set to width-1 instead of 0 and in the case of y going below 0 your y would be set to height-1. This is also to say that when you descend below your minimum, then you would pop back out on the opposite side you went out on--so x greater then width-1 would get set to 0 and y greater than height-1 would get set to 0.
    That is not even a start on if you want to include elastic collisions, angle of impact, any type of deceleration force, or anything else.
    In any case... I would recommend that you add more math to your studies, I've never met an engineer or computer science grad that said: "Wow, I really regret taking all that math in college (or HS), I never use it."

  • How to set up a virtual directory on Application Server

    The environment of my application is Application server 9i version 2, on windows 2000, form 9.0.2.
    I am trying to get the ORACLE 9i forms show_document to work.
    I have successfully created an out file in the server directory.
    I need the document to be displayed by the form.
    Let me tell you more about my server.
    I installed Oracle application server on drive E.
    I copied my application to drive E and named PY which has 4 folders including :
    E:\PY\fmb (for fmb)
    E:\PY\forms (for fmx)
    E:\PY\sql (for sql programs)
    E:\PY\locrep (for lst files which are generated from sql programs)
    Someone told me I should create a virtual directory, e.g. docs, in your httpd.conf file to point to e:\py\locrep
    I've seen 4 httpd.conf files so I don't know which one I should modify and what should I type in exactly on what part ????
    E:\ora9ias\apache\apache\conf\httpd.conf
    E:\ora9ias\apache\apache\conf\httpd.conf.default
    E:\ora9ias\apache\apache\conf\httpd.conf.smibak
    E:\ora9ias\dcm\config\plugins\apache\httpd.conf
    After I modify the httpd.conf file, so what will my URL be ? Also, I have a lot of reports, I would like to run different reports at the same time ??????
    Thank you very much.
    Trang

    The best way to edit httpd.conf is using Enterprise Manager Website. Open this site (http://machine:1810) and drill down on your application server, and then on HTTP Server. Open link Advanced server Properties. Now you see a list of all configuration files. Click on a file to open it.
    To add the virtual path:
    - You could best add your virtual path in file forms90.conf (it is included in httpd.conf with the <include> tag).
    - Within this file you already find some virtual path definitions: Look for the AliasMatch tag, e.g. for the 'forms90/html' virtual directory.
    - Copy this line and change 'html' into the directory name you like to use, e.g. 'myfiles'. Map it to the physical directory (on your E: drive) where your files are. (E: must not be a network drive, however).
    - browse to your files using: http://machine:7777/forms90/myfiles/filename.

    My requirement is that I want to create the environment variable as follows

    Are you talking about Java System properties (get and set through System.get/setProperty) or Environment Variables (read-only, get through System.getenv)?
    You can set the former, not the latter (unless you start a new process through Runtime.exec(), for which you can specify a custom environment.
