Problems installing Hyper-V on Windows 8.1

I was trying to set up a Mobile Development Environment in my system with Windows 8.1. I did not that know it was not a PRO version and I never wanted that PRO version until this point.
Windows emulator requires Hyper-V as a pre-requisite and Hyper-V cannot be installed in Windows 8.1 (it requires Windows 8.1 pro or higher)
Now, the only option that I see is, format the PC and fresh install Windows 8.1 Pro or higher but this is not a viable option to me because this is a working machine and it will waste my a day or two in configuring the environment.
Isn't there a standalone installer for Hyper-V where I should not format/reinstall my OS ?
Any help/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kushal.

Quite honestly, upgrading to Pro is the way to have Client Hyper-V on your workstation.
Because the Phone Emulator MUST be installed on the same workstation as Visual Studio - it cannot be remote in any way.  It must be local.  That is a requirement of the phone emulator.
And, in reality, this problem is not a Hyper-V issue, it is an issue of a dependency of the emulator, which in turn hits a requirement for Pro, which was a licensing / marketing decision. 
The emulator requirements:

  • Installing Hyper-V on Windows 7

    Hi!
    I installed Hyper-V on Windows 7, but when I try to connect to local host, the follow message appears:

    Someone can help me?

    Hello,
    There is a solution, you 'll still be able to run a virtual machine on Windows 7. You've got to first create a Virtual Hard disk (vhd) then install Windows Server 2008R2 on it by WIM2VHD. Create a boot entry by bcdedit. Then you have your new environment
    where you can install hyper-V!
    Bye, Sébastien
    Please explain how you can run Hyper-V in Windows 7 if you install Server 2008 R2 in a VHD.  The Server 2008 R@ VHD is a separate environment on the HDD.  When you boot the Server 2008 R2 VHD you are not running Windows 7.
    Read the information found @
    http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/129475-boot-windows-7-from-vhd-an-amazing-concept/ about booting from VHD.  Your method of creating the Server 2008 R2 VHD will not work.  Server 2008 R@ must be installed to its own separate VHD the same as with
    the Windows 7 VHD.

  • How to install hyper-v on windows 8 ?

    How to install hyper-v on windows 8 ?
    I want to install virtual PC but after some research I came to know that windows 8 no longer support virtual pc and it has been replaced by something called hyper-v.
    I just bought a Windows 8 laptop.
    I tried looking into windows on / off features (in control panel) and there is NO hyper-V.
    I know why I don't have hyper-V because after doing some research it seems like it is only available on windows 8 PRO.
    Here is comparison chart:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions#Comparison_chart
    I have Widows 8 on my laptop (NOT Windows PRO).
    Now in this situation, how to install hyper-v on my laptop ?
    Also, will I be able to run windows 7 virtually on my windows 8 laptop using hyper-v just like virtual pc ? like switching in windows between OS ? If I cannot do this and hyper-v does not work like virtual PC then I don;t think hyper-v will be useful to
    me at all and i don't wanna figure it out if it is not useful in any way ?

    Hi jeffcarter,
    To enable the Windows 8 Client Hyper-V feature, our computer needs to meet the following requirements:
    1. Hardware supports Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
    2. 64-bit Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise.
    3. 4 GB or above of RAM.
    Therefore, it seems that your computer cannot install Hyper-V. Also, Windows Virtual PC cannot be run on Windows 8. Thanks for your understanding.
    In addition, regarding how to configure your BIOS to enable Intel VT-X, you can refer to your motherboard’s operating manual or query the vendor support for help.

    Thank you in an advance.

    Hello,
    Hyper-V related questions should be posted in the Hyper-V forums here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread
    Hyper-V can be installed on Windows 8 Pro, does not matter if Windows 8 Pro is OEM.  Windows 8 does not have the ability to install Hyper-V.

  • Is possible to install Hyper-V on windows 7 Enterprise ?

    Is possible to install Hyper-V on windows 7 Enterprise ? if yes 64bit or 32bit? 

    Hi Velavan,
    Hyper-V is only available on Windows Server, Windows 8 and above or as a standalone Hyper-V server. However the client version on windows 8 and above will not allow clustering and so
    on and is  great for development or training environments but not production.
    If you are just looking to manage remote Hyper-V hosts on a windows 7 client you can download the RSAT tools and install Hyper-V manager and Failover Cluster Manager which will allow you to manage
    your remote hosts or clusters.
    Kind Regards

  • After installing Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 Pro, my computer won't boot

    I have a somewhat new (June 2013) HP laptop originally running Windows 8 Pro. I installed the Hyper-V component right away and it was running great. After testing Windows 8.1 Pro on another computer a couple months ago, I decided to upgrade my HP laptop and
    Hyper-V continued to work great after the upgrade.
    Yesterday, after a Windows Update failed, I was not able to boot my laptop. It would hang with the HP Logo and spinning circle at the point when the Boot Manager normally starts up Windows. Trying to do a recovery reported a failure, but no specific reason
    except to say boot failed and that a Restart might correct the error, but it would just hang on the HP Logo every time I would try to boot. I reinstalled the Windows 8.1 Pro OS and the laptop was working fine until I would install Hyper-V. 
    I have gone thru this sequence 3 times. The first time, I pulled the latest Windows Updates, then installed Hyper-V, IIS and some other components and after this install required a Restart, my laptop hung at the HP Logo. The second time, I did not enable
    any Windows Updates, but installed Hyper-V and IIS and again, after the Restart my laptop hung. So, the final time, I only installed Hyper-V and after the Restart, my laptop hung once again.
    Since Hyper-V used to work, it would not seem to make sense that I have a hardware compatibility problem. I have also run the extensive built in firmware Disk tests and other diagnostics taking several hours to complete and these all passed.
    I am now using my laptop without Hyper-V and it is working fine, but I hoping to find a reason/solution for the problem caused by installing Hyper-V so that I can once again install and use it.

    Hi,
    Generally speaking, when you add feature like Hyper-V, system would take a long time to get this feature configured. if your computer still stay updates configuration steps, you can use Windows 8.1 installation image to repair system. In system repair mode,
    you can access into Command Prompt mode, and check CBS.log which located at C:\Windows\logs\CBS. This log file would record Windows installation process, we may find the problem of Hyper-V stallation.

  • Problems installing and starting on Windows 7 64bit. error message - The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

    Hi I'm having problems installing and starting itunes program on Windows 7 64bit. After install the following error message is flagged - The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would really appreciate any pointers!

    Never mind sorted it out lol. Somebody did a system restore of a week or so. I had done the update during that time and it was lost. Just redownloaded itunes from the internet and its working fine now.

  • Problem installing ActiveX viewer in Windows 7

    Hello,
    We downloaded the public beta of Windows 7 today and I am getting an error in our web application when it tries to install the Crystal Reports XI ActiveX report viewer (version 11.0.0.1424 of crviewer.dll).  IE8 will issue its normal prompt to ask you if you want to install the control, but after that, the little object image in the upper-left corner of the page turns to a red X.
    I tried using the sample code which comes with Crystal XI (SimplePreviewReport.asp in the "BeginHere" folder) and that had the same problem.  I put some debug code into SmartViewerActiveX.asp and found that I was getting an "ActiveX component can't create object" error on this line:
         Set webBroker = CreateObject("CrystalReports11.WebReportBroker.1")
    I don't think it's a security issue because I am an administrator on the machine and I didn't have any problems installing other ActiveX controls.  I tried running the web site in both the Local Intranet zone as well as the Trusted Sites zone.  I'm also thinking that the issue is more with Windows 7 than IE8 because I have IE8 Beta 2 installed on a Windows XP machine and the Crystal ActiveX viewer installs just fine there.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    XI R2 is more then an incremental update in some aspects to XI R1. They are officially versioned 11 and 11.5 and XI R2 is considered a new release. However in most aspects to a Crystal R1 customer XI R2 doesn't offer much more in functionality other than it is more up-to-date and is still receiving updates and patches.
    With out looking at Operating Systems or other factors I generally recommend R1 customers move to R2 so they are kept up-to-date. However being an new version that does mean you will need to update your projects to call the R2 runtime, and then you can use the R2 merge modules.
    As for how R2 merge modules work with Windows 7 I cannot say. We will have to wait until Windows 7 final build comes out before we will get a list of supported products on this Operating System, and this can take upwards of 3 months after the OS is released. I would hazard a guess (NOTE: GUESS is the important word here) that R1 and R2 will not be certified with Windows 7. This does not mean it will not work, but does mean it will not be tested and if errors are found that are particular to this OS they will not be fixed.
    Remember that this is just a guess, based on R2 being 3 years old and nearing end of its patch cycle and Windows 7 being at least 4 months away. However this cannot be concidered an official statement it is just my personal opinion. Enough caveats there?

  • Problem installing iTunes on my Windows Laptop

    Hi people
    Right I've had this problem for a while, I try to install iTunes but have faced problems. Im using a windows 7 64-bit advent laptop.
    Recently the error was iTunesHelper was not installed correctly as I tried installing the new itunes, and i DO NOT want to have to delete my laptop completely back to factory settings. There is no system restore in place, and I have tried deleting every file+ software associated with apple.

  • Problems installing OBIEE 11g on Windows Server 2008 64 bit

    Hi, I'm trying to install OBIEE 11g on Windows Server 2008 64 bit (standard edition, SP2), and it's blowing up running the installer. The installer gets past the first couple of "info" screens, but blows up prior to coming to the first "real" screen with an error:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Assertion Failed:
    Program: ...
    File: ../../../src/share/native/sun/font/t2k/t2kstrm.c
    Line: 132
    Expression: pos <= t->maxPos
    Has anyone seen this and/or have an idea how to work around this? Note that I did do the prerequisite download / install of the 2005 Visual C++ 64 bit libraries.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Just to close the loop on this thread, this does indeed seem to be some sort of font / java issue on our servers. I've been completely unable to get the install to work using the GUI. However, if I run it from command line using the -silent and -response paramaters along with a proper response file, the install went perfectly. I'm going to continue working the SR with Oracle - don't want to be stuck using -silent mode when things get more complicated, but at least now I can move forward.
    If anyone else has a better workaround - please let me know. "Silent" mode is workable, but difficult and time consuming.
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • Can't install Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 Pro

    I have a Dell XPS L702x laptop with 2 hard drives, one of them has a MBR partition and has Hyper-V running without problems, but in the second drive, which is a SSD disk and has a GPT partition, I can't install it. It seems to install, gets to about 95%
    and then I get a message: "Failure configuring windows features, reverting changes" and then it reboots and reverts the installation attempt.
    I have tried the following commands:
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    Sfc /scannow
    But no errors were found, and I also run coreinfo with this results:

    EPT * Supports Intel extended page tables (SLAT)

    Can you clarify what you're trying to do as it's unclear to me? You've got a laptop with two drives, and you've already got Hyper-V installed on the laptop, and you're now trying to install it on the other drive?
    If that's the case then I'm unsure why you think you need to.
    You only have Hyper-V installed once on a machine, and it's ALWAYS installed on the boot partition of the machine because that's how it works. Effectively once installed the Hypervisor sits on the boot partition, and the local copy of Windows becomes a management
    VM running on top of the hypervisor (that's why the VM's you create get as good performance as the host OS does, as they sit alongside each other rather than on top of one another).
    If you're trying to use the second drive (the SSD) for Hyper-V then you simply need to create a new VM from within Hyper-V that you have installed already, and during the installation you're able to choose where to put the VM files, at which point you can
    set it to use the SSD for those files.
    I've got the same setup on my home machine, though in reverse, eg my boot partition is an SSD, and I've got a large HDD that hosts my VMs.
