Solution: The Virtual PC engine may crash when attempt to start MED-V a workspace

  • Article

image When you attempt to start MED-V a workspace using a test image or a deployed image, the Virtual PC engine may crash and generate a Fault Report using Windows Error Reporting. Subsequently, the MED-V Workspace will fail to start.

The Virtual PC engine crash will show the following fault:

{virtual pc.exe, 6.0.210.0, unknown, 0.0.0.0, ffff08ef}

You will also see the following event in the Application Event Log:

</EventData>
</Event>

Cause

This can happen if the MED-V Workspace (the workspace installation) binaries have been installed along with the client on the physical host machine. The MED-V workspace installer should only be run inside the virtual machine being used to create the workspace.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, please do the following:

1.) Uninstall both the MED-V Workspace and the MED-V Client.

2.) Reinstall the MED-V Client.

Hope this helps,
