[Vista] Installing Vista on VPC... ZZzzzzzz.....

It took ages to install Vista on my VPC and som hassle getting past the disk formatting. Now I've tried to install the additions to it, and it has been running for some 3 hours. I wonder if it has stuck somewhere. Perhaps time to look at some of the Vista/VPC blogs out there....

Also need to do something about the display drivers. The supplied drivers did of course not work. I manged to get win2k drivers working on an older Longhorn installation, so I'll see if I can do the same trick again - download driver installation pack - unpack all the files from the cab/exe and point the driver install wizard at the unpacked files - install, reboot and hope for the best :D

  • You might also try to remote desktop into Vista if you can't get the display driver to work.

  • Same case here with the VM additions - it just stayed at about 99% forever! I looked up google groups and apparently a few people have run into the same problem and I haven't found a solution yet. So if you do get the VM additions to installed, would you mind posting how you got that done? Thanks.
