Business Intelligence VPC Release 6

This is very nice indeed. You need at least 2GB RAM and you really want at least 3GB.


 

1) Download and unpack (by running the .exe). This image runs fine from USB disk (for me, anyway), I never use compression (some do).

2) Download and install Virtual PC 2007 (google is your friend)

3) Configure your hardware (turn on virtualization in BIOS if you can, and the protection flag too)

4) Create your own .vmc file (choose new vm in Virtual PC), set RAM size to about 2/3 of your total RAM and remove network adapter. I'm told that the amount of RAM should be dividable with 64M, can't really back that up with knowledge or measurements, but I do it anyway.

5) Run the image

6) Log on with "Administrator" and "pass@word1", remember that you have English keyboard in the image (I use Norwegian on the mother system, so " becomes @...)

7) Enable auto logon (see older post).

8) Disable System Event Tracker (older post)

From now on just turning on the image will get you ready to play with…
