Portable Microsoft Virtual PC 2007
Okay, I can't possibly expect all of you to recompile the program... so here you go.
If you're having the Virtual Monitor problem, put the following exe in the same folder as the regular "PortableVirtualPC.exe" and then try running it.
Download the file Here
This is not a solution, but I'd like to know if it works. The only thing different in the program, is I gave the program start up a 30 second extra delay.
Please post your results.

Yeah, thats what I figured, the problem isn't that the VMM Driver isn't installing... it's just not installing fast enough. For the time being, people who have the problem can use the fixed version, but I'll be looking for a more elegant fix.
As for the internet disconnect, there's no way around it. In order to install (and uninstall) the VMNetSvc, some network settings must be reconfigured, which results in a short drop out.

Thanks so much ~~
lococobra, I think I love you~ ^^; What a Great job!
I have two questions.
1. Is it legal to make and distribute the launcher?
I am just wondering about it. I know there is no file from virtual PC in your files so, I guess it's legit but I have no idea.
2. If it's legal, can I upload your files on my forum ( Korean forum) ?
Thanks~~

Legal? I honestly don't know, I haven't been contacted by Microsoft, and I don't think I'm breaking any laws since I'm not really decompiling their code or anything.
The file you can download from my page does contain some Microsoft files (like the msxml installer), but it does not contain Virtual PC files.
Please do not host my files anywhere else, but feel free to link to them, and give credit where credit's deserved

Any news on this? I've been eagerly awaiting a version of this where you detect the process being finished rather than just relying on a fixed delay.
What are you options in this regard?
Loading things one by one and waiting on each (it sounded like that was an option you didn't want to pursue)?
Executing everything then starting a relatively fast loop (half second?) that checks that everything's loaded before continuing?
Regardless, this is a pretty spiffy project.

I just found a way to do it
Previously I had only checked for the VMNetSvc.dll in the system32 directory... I'm not looking at my code so don't quote me on that..
Now I've found that there is also a service installed for that, I forget the name... but it isn't what you'd expect.
I'll use "sc query" to detect when that service becomes present.

Version 1.25 is now availible! Please check it for bugs and I will fix them ASAP.. this was kind of a rush job, so I probably did something wrong, however... the major change in this update is:
No one should get that VMNetSvc bug anymore! I HOPE!
Changelog:
edit: Haha, didn't even put a link to it... it's Here

Doesn't work
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...

Okay, problem... solved? Not sure, I need to work on it more, but here's 1.26, which should at least fix your problem.
Try just running PVPC, it should auto-update.
Also available at my site if you want to update that way
Tuesday I'll take some real time to run regshot tests and fix any remaining cleanup issues.
