Virtual PC for Windows 7

I have a vpc.exe (6.1.7234.0) "Virtual PC for Windows 7 (RC)" with integrated ASUS SLC1.0 & SLIC 2.0

if anyone is interested i can upload to rapidshare

 

Hi Kenny,

Is there any chance it could be modded using the Dell 2.1 SLIC and SLP strings. Like the Hyper-V mosd by Yen, WickedNick and The1n.

That would save alot of messing about, if I need to swap VHD's between VPC7/XPMode and Hyper-V.

Thanks

 

Please, PM me a link too.

 

Where is the link for that?? can anyone upload it?? The old method for virtualpc 2007 sp1 does not work, i modified it but it sees no slic table.
I did load the old 1b module form virtualpc2007 with slic2.1 to in the vpc.exe and than a see a slic table but the integration in win7 does not work any more.

Does any one have a method to get it right?

Think i did get it working now still have to test it.

I did find the old beta vpc.exe (6.1.7234.0) that was modified and did the virtualpc 2007 mod with the new vpc.exe (6.1.7600.16393) They did place the slp string different.
I have a slic table now, no problem.
But only one thing that remains, the new 1b does have at offset 123fd
EA 05 E0 00 F0 EA B0 44 00 E0
Wat is this string for?? This is the place were the old virtualpc 2007 mod places slp1 string.
And the old vpc.exe (6.1.7234.0) mod is there
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Why is that?
The old vpc.exe (6.1.7234.0) mod does place the slp string at 12c35
44 65 6C 6C 20 49 6E 63 00 00 44 65 6C 6C 20 43 6F 6D 70 75 74 65 72

Is that why the first bytes are zero?

Yes im changing vpc.exe on a win7 64bit system, and i did have a manual from this site how it works for virtualpc 2007 executable.
That manual is nearly good for win7 vpc.exe, only a few changes have to be done to get an slp from dell in the bios and slic table,
Above you see the changes i have with the slp1 table

But only one thing that remains, the new 1b does have at offset 123fd
EA 05 E0 00 F0 EA B0 44 00 E0 (this i did not change)

(in text written: Dell Inc..Dell Computer) I have done this string at 12c35 ofset than slp is correct.

But wen i changed it is not ok the mod for slic did not work in the first time but this is the only change you must make to get slic2 working too (after the manualmod known for virtual pc 2007)
There is a problem with the rsdt and xsdt after the name of the oem (44454C4C202051413039202020) in test (DELL QA09 ) there is 20 hex change that in 00
its located at offzet 28843
And also at offzet 28943 change 20 in 00


and use for editing the vpc.exe XNResourceEditor to load en extract the bios from the file and mmtool to extract 1b file
mmtool to replace the 1b module and XNResourceEditor to insert in vpc.exe.
Then it works win7 activated And i can import now my old virtualpc 2007 virtualmachines enterprize server 2008 and it is still activated great!!!

 

> This is the place were the old virtualpc 2007 mod places slp1 string.

What string are you talking about? VirtualPC 2007 did NOT have any string by default

> the new 1b does have at offset 123fd EA 05 E0 00 F0 EA B0 44 00 E0

No idea, but it seems that the original modder just there placed the SLP string (was it Dell?)

> But wen i changed it is not ok the mod for slic did not work in the first time but this is the only change you must make to get slic2 working too (after the manualmod known for virtual pc 2007)

Could you please explaing it again, as I can not really get all the meaning here (which is the only change)

Thanks for the tip about XNResourceEditor! which extracts 13500 resource just fine with correct size (but how do you replace resources with XNResourceEditor ?)

Search for Virtual_PC_2007_SLP1.0_and_SLP2.0_guide_rev1.1 this pdf in google and than every thing comes in place i think.
And use XNResourceEditor !!!

The manual is ok, first made for virtual pc 2007 and now a big helper for the vpc.exe on win7 64 bit. make only the changes i made and than it works fine.

 

I have the link to this guide in post #8!

I only asked as the English used was a bit... not precise (obviously not your first language)

But how do you replace resources with XNResourceEditor ? I can not see any easy way

sebus

 

after making the new bios file, name it 13500.bios than open with XNResourceEditor the vpc.exe

than in the menu
resource
input userresource.
select the 13500.bios

Than it stands in the file under bios with no language jet
delete the englisch verenigde staten bios now
And than right click the source you put in
and change to englisch (verenigde staten).
Save the file and you are done

ok changed sebus lol i was to quick

 

Thanks again, kind of logical (once you know how to do it...).

And especially with Dell SLIC one has to be careful to include the whole DELL QA09 . - 44 45 4C 4C 20 20 51 41 30 39 20 20 20 00 including the last 00,
otherwise RSDT != Pubkey & SLIC is invalidated

Virtual PC supports virtual machines only 32-bit. If you want to run a virtual machine 64-bit, you must install Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V +, or use a virtualization program for the third, as VM ware Workstation thus windows 7 is a best for virtual PC which support many driver.

 

Are there also localized version of Virtual PC? I can only find english version...

 

Ok anyone had a hand on it and working??

 

I have been using similar on vpc 6.1.7600.16495 (x64) for some time now using similar guides Dell SLIC 2.1 and multiple SLP strings

 

without virtualization?
