My server doesn't have Hyper-V feature and I need to launch a virtual pc image on it.

I tried installing from this Microsoft link but failed.

Is it a workaround for me? Please help. enter image description here

Have you tried this update to Server 2008?

If I recall correctly MS Virtual Server 2008 will run on Windows 2008 but isn't supported.

Why not use Hyper-V: it will work with Virtual PC guests? (You'll need to replace the virtual machine additions with the Hyper-V installer to get full integration—as was needed with Virtual Server and Virtual PC updates.)

Not using Hyper-V just because of the licences Richard :) – Nam G. VU May 9 '11 at 5:13
@NamGiVU: 2k8 includes H-V, and guest OS's need their own licences as they do with Virtual PC. Actually less: 2k8 in the right edition includes licences for the first few, or with Data Center unlimited, guest instances of 2008. (Some early builds of 2k8 had H-V as extra $$$, but shortly after MS changed it so H-V was included: I assumed the change was retrospective.) – Richard May 9 '11 at 7:43
