Loading Office 2007 onto Virtual machine in XP Mode
I have a legacy program that runs in XP and runs in XP Mode when I open a Windows Virtual PC window, and run the program in this window.
How ever when I am in the Windows Virtual PC window... It doesn't recognize that I have OFFICE 2007 loaded in Windows7.
So I THOUGHT this would be a simple solution - load OFFICE 7 in the WIndows XP -Windows Virtual PC.....
I THOUGHT this would be as simple as inserting the disc and Installing OFFICE 2207....
HOWEVER - it gets ~ 1/3 into the Install (after about 15minutes), then asks where the MSI files are located...
(ok I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer) - but I have literally spent hours "browsing for the MSI files to no available....
When I cancell the search for the MSI files.... Office cancels the Install....
I would really appreciate any help here...
No I can't run the application from Windows7 ( ie use start menu and startup the application from the Windows Virtual PC--> Windows XP Mode Applications.... the program is smart/dumb enough to recognize this as attempting to run remotely .... and merely shuts down)
