If you found my post helpful, please mark it as the answer. Mark,Make sure you are trying to install the correct version for your OS, ie 64bit if that is the version of Windows 7 you have.You might first re-boot your machine, go into the bios and enable the Virtualization support. If your BIOS does not support that, you will not be able to run VM's on that machine. This is important as not every machine supports this functionalityand it must be turned on in the bios if it does support it. Which out that support the installer will never run.Curt WinterCertified Microsoft ProfessionalCurt Winter. Make sure you're running Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate.

Guides on emulating older applicationsVirtual PC for Mac lets you run Microsoft Windows applications, access Windows networks, use Windows-only Internet applications, and share files with Windows-based colleagues. Virtual PC for Mac employs standard Mac controls and commands. It gives you the flexibility to work across platforms-side by side-without changing your Mac OS, software or files. Say goodbye to compatibility issues. Virtual PC for Mac lets you have the best of both worlds.This is the full.DMG of Virtual PC 7.0.2 for Mac OS X (first download link) and its German version (second download link). It will not run under Mac OS 9, but Mac OS X only. This allows you to run Windows, Linux and any other virtual machine on a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor.
Please note this program is now considered abandonware because Microsoft no longer supports the product. The last update for this program was released in September of 2007, which is version 7.0.3 (provided in the third download link, working for all languages). Microsoft is no longer selling the product because of Apple's switch to Intel.
There is no license required. You need to burn the.DMG file to a CD to install it. You can't just mount and install it will ask you to insert a CD.comment by user almightyM: I never had to burn it, for me it always did work by simply mounting the image. I did it that way in 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard.Tips:. For Linux guests, use to set the guests screen resolution.Known issues:. Leopard users will want to, to prevent it from appearing in the dock. (modified kext for version 7.0.3 in fourth link, just copy to /Library/Extensions and replace old one).
Under Windows XP guests, instead just a white page is shown. Enabling compatibility updates may fix this problem. If under a Linux guest the (wheel) mouse is not detected correctly (kernels 2.6 and newer), use the kernel parameters i8042.noloop and psmouse.proto=imps to correct wrong AUX port (/dev/psaux) detection. Linux kernel versions from onward mistook the emulated IDE controller for the one included in Hyper-V and ignored the hard disk drive. This was corrected with which went into kernels and and newer.
However, Linux as a guest system can still be used with affected kernels by adding the kernel parameter atapiix.prefermshyperv=0Other Virtual PC versions:,. CompatibilityArchitecture: PPCBare Minimum Requirements:Mac OS X 10.2.8 or higher (if you have a G5 processor the software will require Mac OS X 10.3 or higher)32 Bit8 MB of VRAM512 MB of RAMPowerPC G3 (400 MHz or higher), G4, G5. Just as a point of interest. I had a bit of trouble getting the VPC to boot the captured cd in order to instal XP. Both the VPC 7 CD and XP were originals (For which I have licences) But as soon as I used Disc Utility to create a.cdr (CD DVD Master) disk image and captured that (Macs CD/DVD drive empty) it booted straight to the image and installed. Now it might be that my CD drive is worn out and it does make a close attempt every hour or so even though it is closed but if you have trouble try a image instead of CD - remember 8.3 naming when you save the image and it must be cdr not dmg.XP runs ok even with my 24inch BenQ display and is as smooth as my 2009 Wintel with a 1.8 C2D and 4 gb ram so good enough to use for my needs (programming micro controllers).Hope this helps someone.Machine 2004 G5 2.0 DP 8gb ram 1tb HD OSX 10.5.8 (and a shed of other upgrades, well we do don't we? By - 2018, August 16 - 4:33amSo, here's my experience with VPC7 on a Power Mac G5, first series, running Mac OS X 10.2.8 (G5) Jaguar.
Which is, of couse, totally unsupported.First, it checks the specs and wouldn't install. The official requirements are:Mac OS X 10.2.8, 10.3.0 or 10.4.1 or higher on a Power Mac G3 or G4.Mac OS X 10.3.0 or 10.4.1 or higher on a Power Mac G5.I figured it may have been by mistake, since the G5 only very early for a very short time even shipped with Jaguar (10.2.7 was the pre-installed version). But the installer actually checks that it's a) a G5 and b) 10.2.8 and refuses to continue by showing a message that at least 'Mac OS 10.3' is required and that I should upgrade. Nice.I got it to install anyway. This involved a little Terminal trickery thou, because I had to alter /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist.First, I got TextEdit to be run as superuser aka 'root'. This is required to save SystemVersion.plist due to access rights.
Changing the rights could be another way to do it, which opens other issues (like security issues.) For TextEdit to be started as superuser, the precondition is that another TextEdit isn't already running! This is because the dock cannot differenciate between the two instances of TextEdit, so neither can you! So, from Terminal.app, do:sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEditThen load /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist in this super-TextEdit and changeProductVersion10.2.8toProductVersion10.3.0and save it, but keep TextEdit open.Then start the installer for VirtualPC 7.0.x. After the installer shows the first page (which it does after checking the faked version), go back to TextEdit and change the version string back! IMPORTANT!An issue on 10.2 Jaguar was that TextEdit, running as root, couldn't be closed from the dock, only from the menu (or using the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Q).
BTW AFAIK this does work on 10.3 and higher.Follow the VPC7 installation, restart the computer.The same TextEdit/SystemVersion.plist procedure is required to get the 7.0.3 update installed.The only painful part is that it's also needed to do the TextEdit-SystemVersion trick to get the installed VirtualPC started. Once started, again, the SystemVersion.plist should be changed back, otherwise the consequences could be. Well, they are undetermined, but it could influence other programs and make them unstable should the version be left at 10.3.0.So far I was unable to find a hack inside of VPC7 itself to disable this check - which would be the preferred way to hack this properly.Anyway, I can confirm that VPC7 on a G5 on Jaguar does run properly.
For the most part. It occasionally acts up (unexpectedly quits or glitches when interacting with the dock), but it works in a way that is usable. Don't get me wrong I am just trying to helpLegal Advice: Well I would advise you to edit your comment post to it not being your legit Serial Number, that doesn't mean this isn't a backup copy of someone's property.Since Microsoft still provides downloads and infos such as updates on Virtual PC and secondary stores still continue to sell them, its availability is still%100 profitable, hence its illegal to post property such as licenses, as the subsidiary selling license still holds.

According to my infos anyway, there has never been an exact statement of classifying Virtual PC for Mac abandonware.That doesn't mean however that in 1/2/3 years time this couldn't open up, in fact I strongly believe so.Thanks for the info on the abandonware.Other info: I am saying its pirated, because that exact SN has been posted everywhere on the net, most notably that you-know-which Box. By - 2009, November 21 - 4:20pmFirst of all. Microsoft provided these cds with a built in serial number so the user did not have to enter the serial number in. When you insert the cd it will auto activate the product. You know how Microsoft is big on keeping piracy down. This was a step they took to make sure the product does not get pirated.

But to assure you this is my copy i bought from Microsoft in early 2006. Of course Microsoft no longer supports this product because of Apples Switch to intel so it is abandonware and Microsoft no longer sells the product.
