Hello,
I know there is a procedure for updating the phone on Windows Vista, but I'm asking myself if someone tried to do an update from a Windows XP virtual machine (as those machines can access to the USB)?
In a nutshell :
Windows Vista real computer
--> Running VMWare Workstation 6
----> Running Windows XP Pro
------> Updating the ROM of the phone
Thanks !

Well, I do this with XP running virtually in Mac OSX through a similar program called Paralells - works like a champ. NOt exactly what you are asking, but close.
I use VMWare 6 in my Vista PC for flash using XP OS before WDCM was launched... and works great...
Now i continue using to flash my Wizard in XP Box trough Virtual Machine cause upgrade tool for Wizard is not compatible with Vista...
So you can use to flash what you want, sure.
Regards.
Thanks for your experiments This will be a super trick for updating my hermes without having to worry about windows vista drivers things!
Thanks!
works like a charm ive been using it since january and i always updaye my roms in it and parallels

Did you guys configure something special in VMware? My VM'ed XP doesn't find the phone (Wizard) over USB, I just get an error in the RUU...
I'm running XP Pro 32bit in VMware 6 on Vista 64bit. Didn't change anything in the VMware configuration... Any ideas?
Not to horribly change the subject, but why not make sure your phone is supercid and flash from an sd card?
I have used this method many times from my Mac desktop, instead of getting out my XP Laptop.
at the very least:

ROM flash through VMWare with a hackintosh/osx86/hackint0sh
Just a little note for anyone searching
You can also flash from a VMWare XP virtual machine in OSX on a hackintosh
Hi all
Brand new to this forum, having just got an htc wizard and unfortuantely I have vista on my laptop.
I'm just wondering whether it's possible to use a vmware xp installtion (or similar) to flash my phone?
Is it a possibility?
I know it's possible with vista, but from reading it seems easier with xp?
Thanks
You need to install windows mobile device centre for vista from here

Im new to the Windows Mobile world. Has anyone successfully installed the Windows Mobile 6.5 software CD on a Windows 7 machine? I just received the Tilt 2, and it keeps failing. I have tried compatibility mode (Vista) and it still fails. If fails when trying to install drivers.
Disregard, I got it to install. Now I am working on trying to get it connected. lol
Are you installing Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1

the same and at windows 7 x64 .the only way is to install at vmware or at virtual box windows xp and flash your phone
plz can anyone give link to htc driver 4 xp 64 or there is no driver 4 64bit
you could try to use windows 7 x64 drivers
Windows xp 64 was never supported very well. as time goes on your going to run in to many more proboems like this one. I would try to get a copy of vista 64 or windows 7 64.
