VMWare or Virtual PC

[William R. Mosher]

Does anyone know if there is a build of VMWare or Virtual PC that can be
installed and run on a Vista Beta 2 computer?

I know the newest vmware server beta does not run.

VMware workstation 5.5 will only install on host PC with Windows 2000 / XP /
2003.
Guest OS can be Vista x86 or x64 - I have both running.

Can I install Windows Vista in a Virtual environment and which software do
you recommend?
First of all, I would say Virtual PC 2004 is not a recommend choice, but
persons have been successful. I recommend using VM Ware Workstation 5.5 or
Virtual Server 2005 R2. VM Ware Workstation 5.5 preferrably. The more RAM
you assign to the Virtual Machine, the better the experience, I recommend a
minimum of 512 MBs or more.
You can download the VM Ware trial here:

Virtual Server 2005 R2:

You're missing the point of his question. He's not asking if he can install
Vista as a guest OS in a VMWare/VirtualPC/VirtualServer, he's asking if any
of those will run on Vista with Vista being the host OS.

And XP Pro x64.

VMware workstation 5.5 will only install on host PC with Windows 2000 / XP

That's not the way I read it. I read Vista installed into VMWare ("in a
virtual environment")

Vista does run in VMWare Server, but without Aero Glass.

"Does anyone know if there is a build of VMWare or Virtual PC that can be

He's asking about VMWare installed and run ON a Vista Beta PC.

And not about Vista installed an run ON/IN a VMWare Virtual PC.

I suppose I should clarify this so that no one misunderstands;

I am running Vista Beta 2 on my computer right now.

I would like to have a build of either VMWare or Virtual PC that will
install and run on a computer running Vista Beta 2 as the host Operating
system.

I hope no one is confused.
