-Hiroshi- Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Has anyone able to enable the "Auto Publish" after building a XP SP3 vhd from scratch?Please enlighten. I can successfully run the integration tools, access drives/mouse et al, but have not been able to publish apps. That requires a patch from Microsoft that hasn't been published on their website yet, so in short, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 hmm.. Well I never experienced a problem in Win 7 until I installed Windows Virtual PC, and never bluescreened on this machine until then, then I'll have to lay the blame on Windows Virtual PC, sure you might've gotten lucky and not had problems, but that doesn't mean that I haven't. Well, if you have the mini-dump file of the bluescreen from C:\Windows\Minidump\ then it's fairly trivial to find what caused the bluescreen with the Windows debugger. You can upload it to a place like http://stashbox.org if you want me or someone else to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reformatted to XP since then, so I don't have it, however I've been able to narrow it down to either my Realtek HD Audio drivers and VXP's integration drivers, I couldn't keep Windows 7 up long enough to analyze anything.

This isn't an attack on you, it's just a general rant.. However to help you reproduce this, if you can.. Listen to music in foobar 2000, while listening to music, start an XP virtual machine and fiddle around with Firefox. It was around that time I started having issues with it. I wasnt having a dig at you either. just that you have a problem. I was mearly informing others that its not as buggy as people might think. I have been messing for the last 2 hours runing updates and getting my XP to a more usable state and i have not have one problem with either XP Win 7 or the Virtual App. Good luck with it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the general "It's a Beta, backup your stuff" could be applied here. I was recording my screen with Camtasia in which I would start up VPC, let it boot up XP, shut down XP, and then start up my XP VPC in Virtual Box, and shut that down, that's when the BSOD's started.

bagpus Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I let Win 7 detect all my devices and the only drivers i actually installed was my GFX Drivers which had win 7 support. plus as I only rebuilt the Os the other day it only has a few applications on it. infact only one messenger.

Southern Patriot Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 First you say: ..

So why were you so quick to blame VPC for the bluescreens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhavesh Dhaka Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The QFE for publishing apps has been released on MSDN. en_rail_qfe_beta_for_windows_xp_sp3_x86_343753.exe There is one for the Vista VHDs also. Apart from that there is a 400 mb+ download of the whole XP SP3 VHD for the XPM mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbo Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm impressed, things look pretty solid here, no crash or BSOD, although it doesn't support Aeropeek yet RAIL QFE for Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista (For VPC) is also available on Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syanide Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Blah, no 3d support. Anyway, am I the only one who thinks that this is only gonna slow down the adoption of 7? I think this is gonna bring only more complications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is gonna bring only more complications. I see no reason for that. It's only going to be available for Win 7 Professional and up, and even then it's going to be an optional download from the MS website. The majority of people will have no reason to use it. Those who will find it useful will be small businesses and people who have very specific needs. And those people w/ specific needs will find the ease of installation useful or if not, they most likely have already played around with other VM products and don't need XPM. I can really only see benefit out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imran Hussain Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 At least clipboard copying works like it should in Virtual PC/XPM. It NEVER worked for me in VirtualBox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can really only see benefit out of this. Was going to say the same thing. For the average consumer, they really do not have any need for XPM. But businesses should find this as a reassurance that their legacy software, which they refuse to spend time and money upgrading the code, works on at least as good it does in XP. The benefits in Win7 are blatantly obvious in terms of performance, security, stability, and support, since not a single person who tested it properly would say otherwise.

I think this is gonna bring only more complications. This isn't meant for consumers, hence why it's only available in professional editions and higher. It's designed for businesses that run applications that will not run properly in later versions, and that's what is preventing them from updating their OS's. I don't see how that would slow down the adoption of Windows 7, that doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syanide Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Okay. I personally have no interest in it, but seeing all the people here talking about it I thought it was more regular consumer based solution, which is why I think it'd be not a really good solution, especially with no 3d and such.

Adam20 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Doesn't seem to work too well if you have VMWare Server installed, if the Virtual XP machine restarts it shuts down the VMWare machines on my PC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svnO.o Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Got XPM up and running but have a question. How do I get the XP apps to integrate into the Windows 7 desktop? I got it running but can't seem to get any apps to float outside of the VM. Couldn't find any options for it. Been trying to get IE6 to integrate into the desktop as a test but no go =( Edited April 30, 2009 by dlegend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagpus Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 you need to run another update that will enable this.. whne u have xpm running go to tools settings and take a look at Auto Publish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svnO.o Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 you need to run another update that will enable this.. whne u have xpm running go to tools settings and take a look at Auto Publish. It says it's enabled under current value but clicking on it, its grayed out and says "This setting is disabled as the virtual machine is running or has been hibernated." I wanted to get IE6 to integrate into the win7 desktop just so I could see how my site looks/functions in it without having to bring up the XP desktop. How can I add shortcuts to the xp apps (eg. IE6) to the win7 desktop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Tyranade Subscriber² Posted April 30, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hmm found the torrent for this (yeha its real I got it to install) and it has the .msu files and .msi files so im guessing you need the .msi files installed to do the integration, not sure though.

majortom1981 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 You can get the same thing with virtual pc 2007. I am a technet member and installed this. Sooo much work . It would be pure hell having to do this for more then 5 machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen1393 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Wait so let me get this straight, Old video games and some other programs like photoshop will not work in XPM? I think it would be better if microsoft added on the ability to just install XP in a seperate partition. I mean we're already getting a free XP are we not?
