can't install Hyper-V Manager

[Moshe Raab]

I can't seem to be able to installer the Hyper-V Manager on my Windows Vista
Business x64 with SP2
I have enabled the RSATs and it is not one of the options.
so i have downloaded the patches from KBs 970203, 941314, 952627. I always
get this error: The update does not apply to your system

where can i get the Hyper-V manager? thanks

Not much information - "...The update does not apply to your system..."
statement infers you so not have a hyper-v server installed.

 

[Moshe Raab]

of course there is no hyper-v server installed on the vista system, but
there surely is on installed on a WIN2K8 server in the local network (not on
the domain though). I can RDP to it

 

[Peter Foldes]

Hyper-V can be used by Vista but not with Home and or Pro. Ultimate and Enterprise
will work

 

[Moshe Raab]

as i mentioned below i am using Windows Vista Business x64 with service pack
2
so it should work, but it isn't.
i am trying to understand why. is it because i am downloading the wrong
patch or is there a system configuration problem? or is it something else?

 

[Peter Foldes]

Only on Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise and of course on W2K8 Server

Sorry that I left out the Vista Business version from my previous post stating that
Hyper-V cannot work with Vista Home and Pro

Was that supposed to make things clearer?

Windows Vista Business x64 is certainly supported. I have installed it
on this machine which runs Vista Business x64.

Here is the message from the download site.

System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows Vista Business 64-bit edition; Windows
Vista Enterprise 64-bit edition; Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition
Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later versions of Windows Vista Service Packs is
required.

 

[Moshe Raab]

which site was that.? maybe i am downloading from the wrong site

 

[Peter Foldes]

Here is the download page and it certainly does not say Vista business in System
Requirements but only say's Vista Service Pack 1 and 2

MS KB's have been known to be wrong

Just an observation.

The download link is for x86 version.
IIRC the OP stated in the first post that he uses x64 Vista. So I guess an
x64 version is needed here.

 

[Dominic Payer]

The message you are seeing suggests you are trying to install the x86
version on your x64 system.

You need
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8F-289C-4E04-8786-395371F083BF&displaylang=en.

Note that there are separate x86 and x64 versions under the same
Microsoft KB numbers. The links at the end of the KB will point you to
the correct version if you land on the wrong one when there is a choice.

 

[Moshe Raab]

this was it!
i was able to install the hyper-v manage.

however, when i try to connect the the hyper-v server i get a message that i
don't have the required permission to complete the task. i need to contact
the admin of the authorization policy for the computer. I downloaded
HVRemote and tried to run that, but i think the problem is that the host is
in a workgroup and my Vista client is in a domain.
Now, how do i set up the authorizations?
again thanks for helping resolve the first part of the issue

 

[Dominic Payer]

Glad you got it installed.

I am not familiar with Hyper-V so suggest you start at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/support.aspx or ask in
one of the microsoft.public.windows.server groups m.p.w.s.setup or
m.p.w.s.general is the most likely to be helpful.

 

[Bill Grant]

Interesting. That seems to be later than the one I was looking at. I
installed it a while back on Vista Business to test it. I haven't updates it
because I didn't really like it. I administer Hyper-V by RDP into the
server.

I wonder why Business fell off the list between versions.
