Hi Bill -- Thank you for your note. Yes, that tool you mention would should work for my current system. Although I have a few Norton Ghost Images, which I wanted to get converted into VPC images. And I haven't yet found a tool, which can do such conversion. And for VMWare VM image creation from a Norton Ghost image there exist software called "VMware vCenter ConverterTM" https://www.vmware.com/products/converter/features.html ... FYI: Getting a VPC image from Norton Ghost image is not an urgent issue here now - I'm just wondering about software to make such a conversion if needed... Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Bill Patten Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 9:20 PM To: 'Discussion concerning Visual Basic and related programming issues.' Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Installing VS2010 on a PC with VS2008 SP1 ?Shamil, Right after reading your email I went to a ZDNet email I subscribe to and they mentioned this free software to convert XP to a VHD. I haven't used it but the price is right and I'll download it for future use. It's a Windows Sysinternal program and most of them are pretty good. http://www.zdnet.com/photos/convert-xp-into-a-windows-7-virtual-machine-with -disk2vhd/466650 HTH Bill -------------------------------------------------- From: "Shamil Salakhetdinov" <shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru> Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 6:13 AM To: "'Discussion concerning Visual Basic and related programming issues.'" <dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Installing VS2010 on a PC with VS2008 SP1 Hi Gustav at all -- I'm getting installed a fresh Win7 with MSSQL2008 and VS2008 - and I have made a few Norton Ghost images of this system install on different stages. Is there any way to have that images converted to MS Virtual PC or VMWare formats or XenDesktop(http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/home.asp) or (please recommend better options of VMs) to maybe use that images somewhere in not that far(?) future on the cloud and just have "lightweight" note-/net-book to work with that "PC on the cloud"?

And its ISO image download is very slow... OK, I will try to find SilverLight 4 SDK download.
