I downloaded some files that are .exe files on my mac and want to run them under Virtual PC, however, when I double click them the Virtual PC launches but doesnt run the file, how can I copy these to my virtual drive and run them under windows?


Thanks

Did you try dragging it from OS X to a location in the Windows environment?

If your VPC is properly setup you should be able to drag'n'drop the files right to the Windows desktop. Also you can select a folder to share and browse to the files from within Windows.

Did you try double-clicking the file again once VPC had launched?
