Virtual pc running a windows exe cd
My virtual pc won't run windows exe cd. Just says wrong format. Any ideas?
Since VPC is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

How to run other windows .exe program in Java code?
Hello!
In C language we can use system() function to run a OS prog,
but which function(method) can we use in java?Not a top programmer here, just happen to like to play with funny ideas.
I'm not sure how you can get the installation directory, but you can obtain the OS type by using
System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));
Then maybe you deduce the directory from there? For the list of properties available try this:
System.getProperties().list(new java.io.PrintStream(System.out)); -
Everytime I turn on my computer running on Windows XP, a message appears from AppleSynchNotifier.exe - Unable to Locate Component -
"This application has failed to start because CoreFoundation.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I uninstalled and re-installed itunes and the message still appears.
How do I fix this??
Thank youWith that one, first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe Control Panel for Windows, robin. Does that make the error go away?

I need help with java on windowsXP after updating iTunes to the latest version. My java will not work and I get error message need java virtual machine to run applet window. Did not have this problem prior to the iTunes update.
Please help, ThanksIf your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Using Windows Server 2012 Essentials - Creating a virtual PC running Windows 7
I have a lot to my question, but I am hoping someone out there will be able to answer it, or at least part of it for me.
My situation is I have a Centon InfiniTV 6 turner card, which means that the computer would need to be running 24x7 to record TV shows.
Which is ok, I have no problem with that. I also have a home network with all computers are able to access the recordings.
I would really like to have some server software running to help keep things better organized and also be able to access the files and stuff remotely if needed.
This is why I purchased Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials.
I have not tried to install the tuner card software on the operating system; because it is only for Windows 7 and 8, so I would think it would not work.
What I want to do is have my Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials running as the primary operating system.
Then create a virtual PC to run my copy of Windows 7, and have it use the turner card that I have installed on the computer.
This is the first question, is there any way of doing this?
From what I have read online is that Essentials does not support virtual PC’s because it does not come with hyper-v.
Is that something that can be downloaded or purchased separately from Microsoft?
I have installed the free copy of Oracle Virtual Box, but for some reason that does not show any operating system over 32 bit.
All of my software is running at 64 bit. If I can get Virtual Box working, would that fix all my issues?
Next question, is there any easy way to make a copy of my current running Windows 7 and use that to create a virtual PC running on the server?
Or will I have to reinstall it, and everything associated with it to make it work correctly?
I guess the last question would be, is there any way of using a free SSL certificate with the server operating system?
I have tried a few things that I found online, even followed all the steps from a YouTube video but none seem to work.
I am not sure if it is worth the $70 per year just to access my computer remotely once or twice a month.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advanceHi,

I am running windows 7 with IE 10. I want to switch to Firefox as my browser. I am able to download the Firefox Setup 22 0 exe, but when I try to open or run it, windows prompts me to "choose the program you want to use to open this file". This happens with both the Firefox Setup Stub 22 0 exe (274kb) and the Firefox Setup 22 0 exec (21,239Kb). I can't find any program on Windows to run this exe. Same thing happens when I try to run the troubleshooter exe.
Hello annsboland

Hi I have a current XP SP3 setup have been using in a dual boot with Windows 8.1(on separate partitions on different hard drives - I think these are SATA drives) but now am thinking of migrating my XP partition preferably as a live virtual machine
to be run as a guest via Windows 8.1 as host so I don't have to do the rebooting. Also prefer this to making a VHD of my XP so can use the existing partition allocated for it rather than taking up extra space as VHD on my windows 8 (and don't want yet
to replace my xp dual boot in case it does not work so well as vhd, as I have a lot of old educational programs my kids still use on it that I don't really want to put onto my W8.1). Will also save time if I don't have to convert it to VHD first. I
also do not want to reinstall a new XP Sp3 virtual machine from scratch for same reason - will take too long to resetup -just use existing as is.
I have used VMWare player and Virtual Box in past with an old 98SE system as a virtual VHD/VPC file but VMWare workstation is paid which may be the one I need to use a physical partition but I prefer to try freeware options first.
Will Hyper-V in Windows 8.1 (I have retail PRO version of both my XP and Windows 8.1) be able to do the same as VMWare workstation? OR is there another option to run the physical XP?
The other thing with my XP setup is that the user profiles that people login with are located on a different partition E (80GB) to my XP which is on J (100GB) and most of the programs for it run from partition D (over 120GB) and the XP boot loader resides
on a partition C (2GB) (which is not the Windows8.1 partition which becomes C only when it boots, but this C drive for XP may also be having the Windows 8 boot loader and files for that -using EasyBCD to handle boot menu of W7 type boot loader).
So I need a system that can mount these other physical partitions also alongside with my XP partition when it boots up.
So what are my options for running this XP SP3 setup via Windows 8 as a guest operating system?
Also will doing this be likely to require reactivation of my existing windows XP (retail) which means I cannot then use it again if I go back to the XP dual boot at times or in case the VM setup does not work?
Also do I need to change my XP first so that it boots off its own drive rather than the C partition - and how do I set this up then using EasyBCD or windows boot repair?HI I found I had to make physical disk offline to use in Hyper-V which I cannot do and do not want to do with all partitions - cannot choose just ones want.
So now am trying to make VM of my physical XP -and other partitions neeeded but D partition is over 127Gb so cannot use Disk2VHD.
Here is what am trying now - any other suggestions for alternate software to vmware convertor/disk2VHD maybe to do partitions over 127GB? I have posted also at VMware forums but no answer as yet.
Advice on doing a physical XPSP3 conversion to a VM for Virtual box and hyper-v ultimately
Hi I need advice as to best way to convert an existing XP Sp3 install on a physical hard drive along with other related partitions to a Virtual box VM image with aim to convert that VM image to a Hyper-V VM for use with Windows 8.1 host.
I have several C (boot ini partition), D programs, E Data, etc partitions and a current dual boot with an extra XP install I use as a backup system.
My main XP is on J drive and other XP on I drive with C drive boot ini that switches btw 2 with J set as default.
I have a D partition that is over 127 Gb so cannot use Disk2VHD which would have been easier, and it seems there is not a way to make a direct Hyper-V VM from converter but only Vmware VM?
I do not have or want to purchase as yet VMware Workstation as have W8.1 Pro that can use Hyper-V to run my XP SP3.
I seem to also have an issue with COM+ corrupted on my machine XP J drive ( It tried to reinstall the COM+ but my es.dll file won't register and I did get a failed conversion with converter when tried earlier at 94% saying VSS snapshots have
reached their limit). I think this is related to my COM+ issue which I am not sure now how to fix apart from repair install of my Xp (as I have tried repairing COM with various articles searched on google to no avail) which I may do first before
retry conversion. However my ALT XP on I drive seems to be fine with being able to browse the COM+ applications ok. SO maybe I can use that instead but it is the J drive XP I want the most (not sure if will work at reboot if I do not
hot clone it?)
I have read also the manual for converter 5.5.1 ver standalone and am not sure of a few things so if someone can guide me it would be very much appreciated.
First of all which version VM should I make image of if I later want to convert it to a Hyper-V VM image (I only have free Virtual Box latest ver, VMware Player and Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 PRo) ie: VMware workstation 10 or Vmware Player 6 or lower
ver or other? OR is there another software I should install for the conversion or later conversion to Hyper-V? I prefer to use Hyper-V over Virtual Box and Vmware Player if possible, but should these others work just as well for my Xp Sp3 existing
system as a VM in Windows 8.1? Please advise which you think is best of these?
Should I leave all configuration options off while converting and even XP licence, workgroup etc or is it most likely that I will have to reactivate my XP (retail ver) once I reboot in the VM although I am putting to run on Windows 8.1 host on exact same
hardware as my current XP in dual boot (replacing my physical copies which I don't intend to use after conversion)? Can I enter licence etc later as well?
I currently have 8 GB ram total -should I leave Xp one at max it suggests of around 3Gb ram?
I have Quad core processor -but should I make Xp Vm one dual core for when it runs on W8.1 host to allow the host some processors so can run at same time or leaving my Xp at quad core will be ok?
Network - I want to use host one as I read it is safer for obsolete XP so do I set that at start or is it better to change this later too -allowing xp to have own internet access (maybe as may need to reactivate also - don't want to call Microsoft
if can avoid it)?
If I just want to convert resulting VM to Hyper-V VM -which software to use after for this that is freeware (Virtual Box or VMware Player or Hyper-V -not sure which can do it) and do I not then install Vmware tools?
SYSPprep should I do anyway regardless of what target VM will be when configuring later, even if on same hardware machine? OR can I just boot Vm and see if boots ok first?
Anything else I should set specifically for this future use of the VM image in hyper-v?

I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch). I removed the partition and started over. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode." I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?
Try a restart.
If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

How do I run a Windows virtual machine?
I have a program for my research (Scigress) that only runs on Windows. I would like to be able to run the program on my Mac, I assume the best way to do that is to run a virtual machine. I don't want to run Windows all the time, since I strongly dislike Windows. Is there a way to do this in which I can turn Windows off as soon as I'm done with that program? What would be the best way to do this, or the best app to use? I have a 2009 Macbook with Lion installed.
I apologize, dragon. I didn't fully read your post well before opening my mouth. Sorry, "the ADD" has me (even as a grown man).
You have really two fundamental choices here on where you could take this. My primary concern above all would be "how resource intensive is this Windows software"? I mean, is it like a CAD or other 3D modeling app or otherwise just... monster? Working in the tech field I have seen CAD programs opening a complex drawing nearly bring say... a dual Xeon, 16GB RAM, 2-4GB of VRAM with cards in tandem (Crossfire or SLI in the PC world, I don't know if it's called the same over here)... but it would literally freeze these beasts of workstations solid for 5-20 minutes while opening and rendering some of these mind-blowing CAD drawings (talented guys, no way I could manage to create some of those 3D models of such just... complexity... in a virtual environment).
So-- with that being said, that's worst case scenario on the software. That would pretty much really cripple your luck with virtualization/emulation of a guest OS (that is, the operating system that is running "under the command") of the main one you're running.
If the program is not that kind of one, it would certainly be more convenient to you to just literally almost open "Windows" like it's just another app, literally... and close it/shut it down as soon as you're done, leaving your other OS X desktop work up and running.
If it *is* going to be a resource hog, then your second option is Boot Camp, which I'm sure you've heard of... You basically split the hard drive (partition it) into two segregated areas of storage and literally you can run either/or and utilize the full power of the machine this way, as you're not sharing CPU/memory. The downside, as sort of mentioned-- is that you have to boot into one or the other, it's not a "program" like the other is, almost; so you'd have to "shut down" or use the little utility app at least to reboot into OS X.
Think about your circumstances and take a look at that article comparing or also research Allan's suggestion, that is a new one to me. That will at least get you familiar with what the "experience" of virtualizing operating systems is like... then let us know what you think is best and we can go from there and help you. Sorry about jumping the gun earlier. Hope I made up for it with an abundance of information at least the second time... -
I simply want to uninstall Mozilla FireFox 3.6.3. I tried both recommendations of using the control panel to add/remove program and running the helper.exe in Program Files/Mozilla FireFox/uninstall. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Edition(64bit). When I tried to remove it using the add/remove program and helper.exe all it does is start for a split second(mouse pointer turns into circular loading icon) and then it stops.

I had this same problem too, and i want to share to all of you my own fix for this kind of problem;
(READ FIRST: ''This step will wipeout everything that mozilla saved on your computer including : password, history and bookmarks''.)'''
'''1. download the Revo Uninstaller''''''
- quick step guide for this:
select mozilla firefox, don't forget to uninstall everything that relates to mozilla including registry to clean them all up.
'''2. download mozilla firefox again'''
- AND REINSTALL. however on this stage, in some cases mozilla will not open at this stage.
'''3. Uninstall Mozilla firefox again NOW using control panel.'''
'''4. Restart the computer to refresh everything.'''
'''5. Reinstall mozilla firefox again, once you have received the prompt for "exporting or importing etc.. etc.. from Microsoft" that means its already working.. it will take around 5-10 sec to load up (in my case) .''' -

Director 11.5 "exe" not running in windows lower version
hi,
i have some project made in director mx2004 (d10) and convert it to director 11.5 but when i publish exe it will not run on windows 2000 or windows 98 (basically lower then windows xp2), have any one idea of that
thanksThis page shows the authoring and runtime OS requirements. Unfortunately, D 11.5 isn't set up to run on Windows versions earlier than XP. You may want to keep that earlier version of your .exe and make it available to users with 2000 or 98.

We are setting up a new environment for a client based on Citrix XenApp Server 6 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 which is virtualized on a VMWare hypervisor. Client uses Firefox and we need to know if it is going to work or not. If not, what is the root cause (i.e. XenApp, Windows Server 2008 R2, virtualization).
Thanks again! :)I only ask because, in the past we were able to install a related product, InDesign CS5 in Citrix. In fact, Adobe had published documentation for doing exactly that: here. I just haven't seen anything similar for Illustrator CS6 and wanted to check.
