I think as of now the MS VM 2007 doesn't support x64

yes, VMware is there !! but there is some problem, as there will many of us shareing the same VHD of the running os (incl programs) between us, and for some comercial reason !! so, VMware is then a paid product where as, VPC 2007 is a free were !!!

MS VM 2007 comes in two versions x32 and x64

try installing x64 version.

[Choto Cheeta]

try installing x64 version.

No Mate, x64 in to run VPC in x64 host os, its not to run x64 guest OS.. !!!

Thats what I figured out after pulling my hair & reading on the web.
I want to have XP x64 as guest OS with x64 Vista as host.

Apart from VMware what else are the options available?

I looked at Parallels but that too is not x64 compatible yet.

I do not know exactly but can we consider Virtualbox here

[ranjan2001]

I am not sure if It does support x64 windows XP/Vista as host yet.

on the above link it shows as windows (AMD64) is that the one? will it work with Intel hardware?

UPDATE

I Downloaded & installed the AMD64 version assuming that it might work (My processor is Intel). It installed fine on Intel/Vista x64 but when I want to install XP x64 I get the following error.


Do I need to install x86 version?
will it let me install XP x64?

You can try VirtualBox by Sun Micro
I've been using it on my 64bit PC and have no issues

Why don't you try and see if Virtual Box or QEmu work ?
I am sure they will.

[ranjan2001]

I cant install x64 XP on virtual box,
it reports error I posted earlier in this post, where as it works fine with 32 bit XP installation.

[MetalheadGautham]

^^Is the host OS 32bit or 64bit ?

[ranjan2001]

host is x64 Vista
guest will be also x64 XP pro

[techtronic]

Try VMware Server. Its a free product.

i have an hp laptop loaded with 64 bit version of vista.but vista does not support many applications. so i installed virtual pc2007 and have loaded 32 bit xp. but i get an error message that windows installer in not properly installed when installing the virtual machine additions. what can i do.also tell me whether virtualbox solves my problem and also which one is better

[ranjan2001]

I dont know much about ur problem but what application are not supported on Vista x64?

I haven't come across any, undr x64 you can install most 32 bit application & they will be installed under Program Files(x86)
