Paul,



>Virtual PC 2007 will not normally install under Windows 2000 but there

is a simple procedure on the internet to edit the MSI installation file

so that it will not refuse to load if it detects w2k.  It uses a

program called Orca and is extremely straightforward. Afterwards, it

will install and, so far as I can see, it runs perfectly.



Interesting. The ability to edit MSI files would be helpful in many instances.

Where can I find this procedure? I gather Orca is part of Microsoft Windows SDK

for Windows, which is enormous. What do I need to download in order to edit MSI

files?



Best regards,
