Virtual Windows XP is already installed

[DragonQ]

I get this error when trying to install Virtual Windows XP beta and it definitely isn't installed. Windows Virtual PC Beta (from here) is installed. Google only reveals one other mention of this error with no fix.

I'm running Windows 7 RC x64. Any ideas?

There are 2 different downloads from the site. Step 1 is to install Virtual PC BETA then reboot. Step 2 is to download the XP mode BETA which looks like it actually contains a virtual hard drive already pre-configured with XP. Is that how you are attempting to do it? I ask one to see if something happened during the install and it never prompted you to restart and 2 I am about to test this out myself.

Yes.

If you continue to have trouble with Virtual PC / XP mode Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 RC Support Forum located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads there.
