Virtual PC 2007: Difference between revisions

'''Virtual PC 2007''' is ana x86-based hypervisor that was originally created by Connectix as a Macintosh program, and it was later ported to Windows 95/NT 4.0. Shortly afterwards, Microsoft bought the program and released [[Virtual PC 2004]], '''Virtual PC 2007''', and '''Windows Virtual PC''', the latter only working on Windows 7. Eventually it was replaced by Hyper-V. There's also a server variant of Virtual PC known as [[Virtual Server 2005]] which added an Adaptec SCSI adapter.

# Create a VM and install an OS.

# Install a VNC server, like TightVNC Server.

# Add "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC" to your PATH on your host machine.

# Open the CollabVM Admin Panel.

# Click on "New VM".

# Fill in the following information:

##* The VM name, description, OS, RAM and Disk Space, etc.

##* Set the '''Start Command''' to: &lt;<code&gt;>Virtual PC.exe -pc "(name of your VM here)" -launch -singlepc&lt;</code&gt;>

##* Set the '''Stop Command''' to: &lt;<code&gt;>taskkill /f /im "Virtual PC.exe"&lt;</code&gt;>

##* Make sure the Protocol is set to "VNC".

## Add the following Guacamole Connection Parameters:

###* Add "hostname", and set the value to the IP or domain the VM is being hosted on - &lt;<code&gt;>localhost&lt;</code&gt;> should work fine.

###* Add "port", use &lt;<code&gt;>5900&lt;</code&gt;> if you didn't change the port.

###* If you set a password on the TightVNC server, add another parameter called "password" with the password you used.

# Verify the information is correct, then start the VM.
