I just spent a week swearing at Virtual PC. Everything seems to work nicely in the beginning. Got the latest Biztalk 2004 build from Gavan to play with. It works fine for a couple of times, then BANG!! Everything stops working. The cause of the problem seems to be SQL Server not starting properly, though it’s probably more likely to be a networking issue as the Event Log shows that SQL has in fact started with no problems. However, none of the apps on the box can see SQL Server any more. Hmmmm …
Disappointing really. I was really happy with Virtual PC
