Lococobra,

It appears that your files(PortableVirtualPC.exe) are seriously infected by viruses:

Code: Select all

Can put up a link to download a clean version of PortableVirtualPC 2007.

False positive

#77 Post by guinness »

The file isn't infected as this is know as a false positive. Because the script is using the code supplied by Autoit, it is well know that it can be flagged up in antivirus software that the potential file might have a virus which is generally not the case.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index ... opic=34658

from reading on the Autoit Forum it might be due to the UPX.exe which compresses the .exe file to a more manageable size!!!

If I am wrong then please comment below.

No, it's not UPX, AutoIT pseudocompilation is flawed from the start. For Antivirus it's practically impossible to well detect viruses in AutoIt (Autohotkey, batch "compilers", AFAIK NSIS too) executables. It's very sad that such wrapping became popular, if AV's flagged all AutoIT executables as suspicious from the start, AutoIT devs would possibly create a real compiler.

I've been on vacation in Egypt, I'm back now and I'll go ahead and re-upload the most recent version just to be sure. However, if you're really worried, just compile the source code.

I'm pretty much finished with working on this by the way. If someone else wants to pick up where I left off... be my guest.

To run the Portable version of VPC 2007, are you required to have admin rights on the host computer? Thanks!

Lococobra, very good job!! Thanks!

Link to your work:

I think to run Portable Virtual PC you have administrator access/password.

If dont have admin access, gets the error:
"One or more of the child processes started by portable virtual pc have not completed after the allotted 90 seconds. Portable Virtual PC will now attempt to clean up the mess it made..."

If anyone wants to try Portable Virtual Box too, visit:

Yes, Virtual PC requires admin rights.
And the comparison is very old and not really relevant.
Example: VMWare installer size grew from 92 to over 300 MB.
Also, I suspect that it's not correct at some points, I don't think that sections regarding VM Tools count drivers and services.

Virtual PC require some drivers

#83 Post by trinhvinhxuan »

When I run Virtual PC 2007 on my laptop, it said "Virtual Machine monitor driver required by Virtual PC is missing. Please reinstall Virtual PC and try again.
I have no Administrator right to install any application. So what I should do? Please help me. Much thanks.

All you can do about this application is to ask the Administrator to place VMM.sys in system32/drivers folder (Then you won't need Administrator Rights if you take off network from the script) and if you want NetWork (be carefully) is ask him to give you Administrator Rights.

Other way is to use QEmu where you can have both by just allowing QEmu port in the Firewall (asking your administrator).

Edit: Sorry by the folder mistake.

Hi. Is it possible to run the virtual machine without installing it? I understand that once you need to install it in the computer this porogram can not be called portable.
