Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 Service Pack 1

[JCAP]

Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 Service Pack 1 (SP1) contains the latest software updates for Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 that improve the reliability, performance and manageability of Virtual PC. Updates have been made to improve the performance of Windows XP Service Pack 2 as a guest in Virtual PC, to improve the manageability of virtual machines when used with SMS 2003 Service Pack 1, and to provide support for running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition as the host operating system.

Some of the fixes included with SP1 have been previously released as separate updates. This service pack combines them into one update.

Oh, and don't anybody ask about how to slipstream Service Pack 1 into Virtual PC 2004! Not every service pack can be slipstreamed! :pinch:

Edit: Alright. I just found out something interesting. Apparently, you can create a slipstreamed version of Virtual PC 2004 SP1. :o

Copy the Virtual PC cd into a folder. Such as D:\VPC. Unzip the sp1 update. Open a command prompt and change to SP1 directory and execute this command " Msiexec.exe /a "Microsoft Virtual PC 2004.msi" TARGETDIR=D:\VPC /qb " it will update the original to sp1.

Edit: I should have tested it. Doesn't work. It integrates the update into the folder, but if you try to install, it stops and says you don't have VPC2004 installed. I also tried adding in the "PIDKEY= product key" section and it still didnt work.

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion after I tried it out, but unfortunately I couldn't edit my post any more, and I have this policy of not posting twice in the same thread in a row.
