I have a Powerbook G4 purchased last October with 2 GB Crucial Ram added.
I have the package of MS Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 with Windows XP professional BUT it will not properly install.
I reside in Kuwait but purchased softwarte from USA and it would appear to be not eligable for support.

I uninstalled, rebuilt HD with DiskWarrior and reinstalled - wont work
i.e. either cannot install or cannot run windows programs.

Very start of install I get message:

The Start up Library Folder ("library/startupitems:] does not have
proper security settings.
To fix security settings click fix. To skip using items in this folder
and show message again click decide

I clicked FIX but apparently to no good effect

Then I got the message Virtual Switch networking could not be started.
permissions for the support were set correctly, but virtual wsitch
failed to load. Please report this problem to Microsoft. (Code :
A1004) Virtual PC for mac will run without Virtual PC networking.

If anyone can advise me of or point me in direction of a solution I shall be most grateful

Thanks

It worked fine for me.
Here's what I went through:

After running the installer on the VPC7 disc, the computer will restart with dialogue message boxes about security fixes.

I clicked the fix "buttion" and restarted. Next I repaired permissions and restarted.

I then ran the VPC7.02 updater (which I downloaded earlier prior to installing VPC7) and went through the final installation process.

Afterwards, I launched VPC7 and it eventually asked me to update my VPC Additions (so the mouse could move).

*About the message of virtual switch being disable -- I got that too and I just use the "shared networking" option instead and internet on VPC7 works fine.

both those things are known issues, that were supposedly fixed with updates

...Updates that you have to install AFTER reinstalling VPC? I thought so. MS is often completely illogical with the way their software works...
