I have Virtual PC 2007 6.0.192.0. I saw there is an update to SP1. So, I
downloaded it just now and went to run it and the installer says that it
will REMOVE "Virtual PC SP1" from my computer. Huh? That makes no sense. I
don't have Virtual PC SP1 currently so how could it remove what I don't
have? Plus, I want to install Virtual PC SP1..not remove Virtual PC! My
host computer is XP ProSP2.

Egads...sorry. I didn't notice that earlier. When I downloaded Virtual PC
about a week or so ago, I didn't realize it was SP1.

6.0.192.0 IS VPC 2007 SP1 as you can see by the version number on the
downloads page Mark linked. There is no update to SP1.
