Max,

there are probably numerous others, but this is one I have read about
recently.

"Microsoft's Virtual PC does not support access to USB devices from within
the VM. VMware Player does not have this problem."

Does anybody know if there is any essential difference between Virtual PC
(which I believe is MS offering) and VMWare (which I believe is not MS)?
Thanks
Max

Hi Tina

They seem to have forgotten the instructions as found similar here for VS TS
2008:

> The first part is a self-extracting EXE and will prompt for the other
parts. ..

So it is the exe for a start.

Doug, William, et al,

How does one decide which of the files to download?  I'm using IE7, so that
eliminates two of the files, but what would determine my choice among
IE7_VPC.EXE, IE7_VIS1.exe, IE7_VIS2.rar, and IE7_VIS3.rar?

My guess is IE7_VPC.EXE, simply because I see "vpc" in this name, and I have
no idea what "vis1," "vis2," and "vis3" are.  Have I guessed correctly?

Okay, if I'm just dumb, I'm just dumb - but it would be nice to really know
what I'm looking at and what I'm choosing when I download something.  My
past week's experience starting to learn about Linux has me very sensitive
to the several "Swiss Cheese holes" in my knowledge.  
I am going to gamble on my guess and go download IE7_VPC.EXE.

Thanks,
Tina
