See my post from March 19: --------------------------------------------------------- Hello together, i have managed to install the IE9 Platform Preview in a virtual Windows, since i am using Windows XP. The Preview needs - at least Windows Vista SP2 with Internet Explorer 8 - Direct2D for hardware rendering - Service "Windows Installer" running Microsoft provides an Vista Image with IE8 for no costs for their VirtualPC http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=21EABB90-958F-4B64-B5F1-73D0A413C8EF&displaylang=en I am not sure if the first start has to be in MS VirtualPC. VirtualPC has no support for DirectX, so it is not suitable for the run of IE9. Therefore install VirtualBox >v3.1, with has experimental DirectX support. Be sure to use the decompressed Vista Image in VirtualBox and activate 3D support in the settings of the new maschine. Disable the service "wsearch" permanently with is the indexing service of Windows Vista (if on low performance laptop drive :-) Set the Service "Windows Installer" to automatic. To activate DirectX you have to install the VBoxGuestAdditions, which is available via a menu in Virtualbox. After that, there is support for the emulated Network (config the VirtualBox with NAT mode), video drivers and mouse integration, so you have not press the ctrl-key on the right for leaving the emulation window. I am not sure if the installation of the GuestAdditions has to be in windows "safe mode" (press F8 at boot time) as mentioned in the FAQ, to allow directX (which replaces some windows files). To get the direct2D interface in Vista you have to install the update kb971512. I downloaded it from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/971512?p=1 so it did not required a validation of the licence of vista. download iepreview from http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/info/ThankYou/Default.html install it, now hopefully without an error. :-) feel free to play with it! I hope you had success, please contact me if you need further help. -- best regards Holger Chair of Process Control Engineering, RWTH Aachen University, Germany ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
