Also had no NIC and your setup.exe hint did it for me. Never use a setup.exe, so didn't even think about that ;) Thanks!!

Maurice,

the management tools run fine on Vista 32-bit, but you can't simulate Hyper-V - you need a 64-bit box somewhere!

Is the Hyper-V Update for Windows Server 2008 (KB950050) only for "Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V" (role version) or is it also for "Hyper-V Server 2008" (standalone version)? Is this update only needed for pre-release versions of Hyper-V to bring them up to the released version?

I am just about to the start this same process on a Dell Precision workstation and will be watching with interest. You will be saving me, and many others, a lot of time. Lead the way. Thank you!
