Failed to open the VPC Network Driver. Verify that the driver is installed, or install the driver from the Web download location at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=46859

方法一

Windows 7 (as of RC1) now supports apretty spiffy new feature known asVirtual Windows XP orWindows XPMode based on what article you read. At its core, it is a new versionof theVirtual PC product, now named WindowsVirtual PC, installed closer to the OS, combined with a Windows XP hard diskimage which allow you to run legacy applications under Windows XP on yourWindows 7 machine in a pretty seamless way.

If you install theWindows Virtual PC add-on to Windows 7, you must first uninstall Virtual PC2007. By doing that, you remove the special network driver that is alsorequired to use the Microsoft Device Emulator on the network. The deviceemulator is typically used for Smart Device development.

So the puzzle: The Device Emulator doesn’t work with the new Windows Virtual PC driver, andyou can’t install the old version of Virtual PC 2007 and expect the new WindowsVirtual PC to keep working. What to do?

The answer is toextract the Virtual PC 2007 network service drivers out of the MSI package andmanually install them in Windows 7. So far this has provided the expectedresult for me: Windows Virtual PC runs happily, and the Device Emulatornow connects to the network. So how do we do this? Thanks forasking. Here is a step-by-step guide to make this go. Note thatthis is very much a “works on my machine” experience. If it burns yourhouse down, don’t hold me responsible. Note that you should have a validand complete backup before attempting this on your machine just in case…

Download the Virtual PC 2007 SP1 installer executable
Rename the installer from setup.exe to something else, such asvpc.exe
Open a cmd prompt, navigate to the setup executable, and run (assuming you renamed the file to vpc.exe):
- vpc.exe /c
This will extract the executable to an MSI file at located in the %temp% directory
Change to the temp directory by running:
- cd %temp%
In this directory, extract the MSI by running:
- msiexec /a Virtual_PC_2007_Install.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\vpc
- Of course, feel free to replace that directory with one of your choosing
This will extract the MSI file to c:\vpc (or the one you entered)
Open the Network and Sharing Center and select Change adapter settings
Right-click the network adapter you have connected to the internet and selectProperties
Click the Install… button
Make sure Service is selected and click Add…
Click Have Disk…
For x86 machines, navigate to:
- C:\vpc\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Utility\VMNetSrv\
For x64 machines, navigate to:
- C:\vpc\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Utility\VMNetSrv\x64
Select Virtual Machine Network Services and click OK

At this point the driverwill be installed and attached to that network adapter. If you have theneed to attach this to multiple adapters, simply repeat the steps above toinstall the service on each adapter required.

Once the driver isinstalled, you can then link the Device Emulator to the chosen adapter andconnect to the network as always, as well as connect to the network in the newversion of Virtual PC.

Let me know how itworks for you!
