Installing x64 Vista on Vistual PC 2007 with host Vista x64 rpg_code_master 6/14/2007 1:37:01 PM Hello I am trying to install an x64 Vista on Virtual PC 2007 with an x64 Vista as host. When the installer finishes loading the files, it says that it cannot continue because '\windows\system32\boot\winload.exe' cannot start because my CPU is not 64-bit. Although my CPU is x64 because I am running a x64 Vista. Am I missing a setting on Vistual PC 2007 or am I doing somthing wrong? Thank you all very much for your time, Richard Hughes

It's not based on the post. It's based on natural thinking... he has 64 bit processor, so one would naturally try to install the x64 edition.. but since that can't work yet... try the 32 bit edition :) Bye, Skybuck.
