P2V Solution Accelerator Known Issues

2010-09-10

From the archive (2010). Written for the tools of the time, so some details may be out of date.

The known issues in P2V Migration for Software Assurance beta are categorized as follows:

· Uninstalling the P2VMigration.msi does not remove the Tools folder created in %InstallDir%\P2V Migration for Software Assurance.

One workaround is to manually delete the P2V Migration for Software Assurance instance created in the Installation directory.

· Clicking Cancel during P2V Migration installation does not cancel the process.

· On Windows XP operating systems, Disk2vhd.exe is hidden during the Capture VHD phase, but it is minimized to the task bar in Windows Vista. Clicking Help/Cancel in the Disk2vhd.exe tool while the Capture VHD task is running is not supported.

· Capturing multiple disks/partitions is currently not implemented; thus, if you are trying to run Windows Vista Dual partition (with one BitLocker® Drive Encryption partition) to Windows 7, restoring VHD to Windows Virtual PC will fail with a Missing Operating System error.

· If a non-administrative user has to run the Add Old Apps to Windows 7.hta script to add old operating system applications to the Windows 7 Start menu, that user would need administrator credentials.

· In Domain Join scenarios, the Add Old Apps to Windows 7.hta script is not run automatically: You must run it manually.
