To answer the first question, namely whether you have to have VFP installed in the XP Virtual machine, yes, you must. Think of it as an XP machine. Just install everything inside the XP machine and you can operate without problems. At least this has been my experience so far.
I have been using Microsoft Virtual Machines in both my Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit desktop and my Windows 7 Professional 64 bit notebook. In both virtual machines I have installed Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and Windows 2008 server. I can switch back and forth from each of them and test my apps in all environments. I really works great. However, I found that Windows XP Mode is a bit different in 64 bits than in 32 bits. In the 32 bit machine I had simply installed MVM and using an XP CD I installed XP directly into the VM. When I subsequently downloaded the Windows XP mode, which I was not aware of at the time of my first installation of VM, it would not install because a message appeared saying that XP was already installed. A bit confusing but, what the heck? I can use XP directly in the VM with no problems. The 64 bit Windows Professional allowed the installation of XP mode, but I find it a bit slower than the 32 bit one. Maybe there is some configuration option that I am not taking into consideration. My question is, how can I run XP Mode without virtualization, where can I read about it some more? Tracy, could you please expand a little bit?
