Virtual PC 2004 does not install

[Rob van Albada]

Hi,

Yesterday I downloaded the free Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 from the
Microsoft web site.

(I want to run some 32bit extended DOS programs - StonyBrook
Modula-2) which are not accepted by the Windows-XP Command
Interpreter.)

I unzipped the 19 MB ZIP-file and typed: setup

Nothing happended.

I waited a minute and again nothing happened.

I repeated the command ... nothing.

I started Widows Explorer, went to the relevant map and clicked setup
.... nothing again.


Is something wrong with the ZIP file?

What can I do to bring life to Virtual PC?

Kind regards,

Rob van Albada, Amsterdam.
