Office 2007 does not install on Server 2008 Virtual Machine
I am trying to install Office 2007 Enterprise, and yes, the windows desktop
experience feature is installed on the VM w2k8 server (x32 SP2). Another issue is that I can shrink the VM but cannot expand it. Is there anything I should edit in the .vmc xml file? The host is Vista Business x32 SP2, but other VM work ok. Thank you, "Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS]" wrote in message . com... Hello NewIT, Which Office version do you try to install?

Once created, the vhd cannot be changed in that way any more than you could a physical hard drive. You can create a larger vhd and image the old vhd to the new one, however, just like you would when swapping in a newer, larger physical hard drive. |

I meant expanding the actual window of the VM. It's very annoying, can make it smaller, but not bigger. |
