I hope someone can tell me why am unable to install Virtual PC 2007 on my Celeron XP Pro (Not SP2) PC.
I have tried installing Virtual PC 2007 32bit.exe more then once but fails.
The error I get is 'The application has failed to start because configuration is incorrect'
I dont know what configuration is wrong. I checked system requirements and believe it be no issues with system requirements.
I have tried saving .exe file at various locations and deleted it and tried installing again.
No matter what I do it still fails to run.
All I am trying to do is have more then one OS on my machine.

if all you desire is dual OS's why not dual boot? hopefully your experimenting with linux and that will easily run on 256mb ram. if your attemtping vista just give up now. my 1280mb of ram chokes on vista.
AMD Athlontm XP 2400+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.0GHz Windows XP Pro/Corp 5.1, Build 2600 SP2 1280 mb of RAM Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 1-40gb 1-120gbD

So I had to think about Virtual PC.

An alternative is the free open source VirtualBox that acts even better than MS VirtualPC
