I have this .exe that I downloaded in Panther. I want to run it in Virtual PC, how do I do that? I thought double clicking it would work, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Any suggestions?

Assuming you have the Additions installed for VPC, just drag and drop the .exe file into windowed mode running VPC OS and it will copy to that desktop.

The Additions are installed by clicking on the puzzle piece icon at VPC's window bottom.

Try right clicking or control (ctrl) clicking the file, and choosing Open With > Virtual PC (or a related name.) If that doesn't work, try dragging the file to the Virtual PC icon. And if that doesn't work, try looking for a "shared folder" or some such in VPC. And if that doesn't work, try downloading the file again in VPC.
