That's not what Bill asked...
Right-click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"...

As long as you have the 64-bit version of VPC 2007 it should work. It is
not supported on Home premium but it should work fine.
Did you use the "run as administrator" option to install it? UAC might
have prevented the installation from running.

I am new to the board, but not new to the Virtualization Scheme.
You would be better off installing VPC2007 instead of the 04 version is you
are using Vista. I have read many posts, outside these boards, that state the
older version works fine in XP no matter the sp installed. With Vista the
older version, VPC04, runs into issues with the hyper layer. This issue stems
from VPC04's inability to travers Vista's file structure and use particular
..dll's without permission even if it is installed with the "run as
administrator" value.
I hope this helps. If I have any misunderstanding of how VPC04 gains access
to Vista system folders please correct me as I do not want to mis-inform any
board members.
