    Hi everyone,
    I'm also unable to install update Windows6.1-KB958559-x64.msu (windows virtual pc beta). The install finishes with the following message: "The following updates were not installed: Update for Windows (KB)".

    My system info is as follows:
    OS: win7 64-bit rc1, downloaded from ms website
    Processor: Intel Core2Duo E8200 @ 2.66 GHz with Intel Virtualization Technology enabled from bios
    RAM: 4GB
    MB: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4, rev. 2.0

    There is an additional update that is not installing: KB970420. It fails with error code 80070308.

    Please let me know if I should send you log files or any other info.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Can you search for vpcshellreg.exe in %windir%\winsxs folder?

    If its present, then do the following:
    Open command prompt As Administrator, and navigate to the folder in winsxs containing vpcshellreg.exe.
    run: vpcshellreg.exe vmcprops.propdesc -register
    And let us know the output.


    If its not present in winsxs, let us know.

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem when installing Virtual PC. Setup cancels at about 90% and reverts the changes. vpcshellreg returns the following:

    [VPCSHELLREG] [Info] The KnownFolder is registered

    Thanks for your help

    Stephan,

    On the Win7 host machine could you Start->Run->ncpa.cpl and then for each network adapter that you have do right-click, Properties and give a count of number of entries you see in the table above [Install] [Uninstall]?

    stardust007,

    Could you also send to wcvdata@microsoft.com the following files:
    %windir%\winsxs\*.xml
    %windir%\system32\config\COMPONENTS

    It will help us debug the issue further as we have gained some useful information from the previous logs you sent.

    We appreciate you helping us out.

    Also send us:
    - value of 'SetupExecute' registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager. You can use regedit.exe to see the value.
    poqexec.log from %windir%\winsxs\poqexec.log
