    It's a hotfix for Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 related to Windows Virtual PC. Meaning it can be applied without Virtual PC installed? Or it needs to be applied only after installing WVPC?

    XPClient - technically, Windows Virtual PC is a feature of Windows.  So a hotfix for Windows Virtual PC is actually a hotfix for Windows.

    Was the following bug resolved with this Hotfix:

  • when a Differencing VHD is created with Diskpart on the same PC instead of using WVPC Create Virtual Disk feature, WVPC can't boot from it despite its parent wasn't changed, showing message: "One of the parent hard disks of 'L:...Test.vhd' appears to have been modified without using differencing disk." Why such incompatibility with MS own software?

    I wanted to give a follow-up.  I was able to get past my problem by using a dynamic disk instead of a fixed volume size.

    @scubabeme you don't need the OPK. Install VirtualPC, next install the hotfix, reboot and downlaod the XP Mode setup and run it.

    I, too, was misled by the OPK directions (penalized for taking the KB instructions at face value). Once the MS tech sent me the Hotfix link I downloaded, unzipped, clicked Run, then rebooted and can now launch XP Mode in VPC. If anybody at MS is listening, a simple note on the KB Article that consumers simply download and run would have saved me several hours over the course of this week. And neither of the two techs I engaged with via email thought to give me this simple clarification either. In the end it works and is easy enough to employ so I am grateful. Thanks
