XP Mode virtual or not?
I'm running W7 Pro 64-bit and installed XP Mode, all running fine. The procedure advised was to install Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu first (reboot) and then WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe (reboot). That done I installed 113 security updates, this morning another 5 security updates. I also installed a firewall and ant-virus prog.
From W7's start menu I see the option Windows Virtual PC and underneath sub entries Windows Virtual PC, Windows XP Mode and Windows XP Mode Applications.
Sub entry Windows XP Mode is of no use because it opens a folder with two files, desktop.ini and Windows XP Mode.vmcx
Sub entry Windows XP Mode starts XP
and
sub entry Windows XP Mode Applications shows the progs installed under XP Mode.
The Windows XP Mode base.vhd (1.18 GB) is on my d partition because I was hoping to install the while caboodle there but seems not possible.
No problems, my question is what is the purpose of Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu? Is my XP Mode setup virtual and correct?
Any tips most welcome.
