I've installed MS Virtual PC 2007 on a system running Vista Home Premium. I need to run Quickbooks 2005 and it won't even install on Vista. Someone on the Quickbooks forum suggested using XP on a virtual PC.

Virtual PC installs but I get error messages about it not being compatible with my OS. When I start it it launches ok and finds the mac address and GUID. It looks for the DHCP but can't find it. I then get the error message.... Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

VPC is not tested on the Vista Home platforms, but it should work.

Once you install VPC, you then have to install XP in the virtual machine you created, that's what the boot prompt is for. You can capture the CD/DVD drive and boot the VPC session from the XP media and do the installation.
