USB does not appear to work - looking at the Windows XP image supplied there are extra services added to support USB. It's probably worth trying to add the OS2Additions from VPC2007 to the W7VPC image (OS2Additions no longer come with W7VPC). In any case the W7VPC created image does seem to hang a lot at boot time and never gets to the WPS without resetting the video again (and sometimes that does not even work). Despite a message that says that W7VPC cannot install some of the integration features contained in the VPC2007 image, I think it is these "OS2 Additions" from VPC2007 that are giving the stability at boot time, perhaps the S3 Trio 32/64 video driver. My experience after a few days is that the copied across VPC2007 image seems more reliable when booting than the created under Windows7 VPC image. Network - leave at default settings and DHCP.Ĭhanging video settings, it can cause a hang on the next boot (at the point where the eCS Logo is normally displayed) - if this happens try going into alt+f1 and reset the video to Gradd or VGA and reboot.Remove additional application - RSJ - it's not practical to be run in a VM.I prefer to remove WIN16 and DOS support.USB - 1 EHCI controller, USB Mass Storage, 4 x USB HDs.Īudio - select SB16 PNP ("for Virtual PC").Target hardware - Modern hardware - safe mode (no ACPI).Network Settings: Select one Network device and select.

I had even tried to create a 100GB HDD dynamically expanding image and works without problems. Just create a "Dynamically expanding" with a 30GB size is enough. Even that eCS can install on it, it had some compatibility issues (You can not format it). ![]() ![]() Hard Disk Image: Do no create a HDD virtual image with the max size that Windows Virtual PC offers you (130GB). If you are installing eComStation 2.0 RC7 for example, check the following recommendations when setting up the Virtual Machine settings: So go to the Virtual PC download page and get it.ĮCS Silver CAN be installed via the new virtual machine process but as usual certain setting in the pre-boot menu are needed as is a couple of settings during the install process - here are the settings you need to know: ![]() Note: On March of 2010 Microsoft released a patch for Windows Virtual PC that allows it to run in machines that does not have hardware virtualization features (VT-x). If you go to the virtual machines folder start/all programs/Windows Virtual PC/Virtual Machines (or simply go to the virtual machines folder under the documents folder) and copy across your eComStation VMC and VHD files that you created under MS VirtualPC 2007 and then double click the VMC file, a VMCX file will be created and you will be able to start the eCS image under Windows 7's version of Virtual PC (thanks for this tip from Sigurd Fastenrath). The code used however is a modified version of MS Virtual PC 2007 - now branded as "Windows XP MNode" or "Virtual Windows XP". Windows XP Mode (formerly known as Virtual PC for Windows 7) release is a virtualization add-in from Microsoft - intended to ensure application compatibility for Windows XP applications that wont run under Windows 7. ![]()
