I was vague because I figured if the answer was that they aren't supposed to work together, there was no sense in digging into the technical details. It appears that I have my problem resolved. I haven't worked with VPC's a lot, so I wanted to make sure that it was supposed to work before I tried to resolve my problem. My confusion was between a .vhd and .vmc file. I didn't realize that I was supposed to create a new virtual machine (.vmc) which pointed to the existing virtual hard drive.... I had assumed that the .vhd file was my virtual machine and was trying to open it directly. After I realized this, I was off and running... I assume that I am up and running now, as I have successfully launched the VPC, although I haven't played with it yet. Thanks for your response. Paul Thanks for your response, Russell.

I am trying to figure out whether this is just a version compatability problem... not familiar with versions of VPC. The current version of VPC appears to require Windows 2007 as a host... which I am not on. I installed VPC 2007, but was unable to launch the image with this version. Before I pound my head against the ground too hard, should I be able to do this? Thanks, Paul Hi,

I have a couple of questions, I hope you can help me with this one. 1. I tried accessing the report manager in BIVPC using this http://bi-vpc/reports but they redirect me to their sharepoint site(http://bi-vpc/Reports/Pages/Default.aspx). I tried this one also http://localhost/reports but same thing they redirect me to http://bi-vpc/Reports/Pages/Default.aspx. Is there a way that I can access the Report Manager in BI-VPC wherein I can create and edit the "folder","Report Builder",and "Datasource" or we are not permitted to access this one? 2. I got an error msg when I tried deploying my report model project from BIDS using this targetURL: http://bi-vpc/ReportServer. The error below was what I got. "The path of the item '/Data Sources/Adventure Works' is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash" I tried using the default URL which is the http://localhost/ReportServer but I got this error "Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error" instead. Did anyone encountered the same problem before? Your help will be appreciated. Thanks, Ness Thanks a lot, Agnes Hi everyone,

I installed the MS BI VPC 2007 in my own machine. I have a couple of questions, I hope you can help me with this one.

1. I tried accessing the report manager in BIVPC using this http://bi-vpc/reports but they redirect me to their sharepoint site(http://bi-vpc/Reports/Pages/Default.aspx). I tried this one also http://localhost/reports but same thing they redirect me to http://bi-vpc/Reports/Pages/Default.aspx.

Is there a way that I can access the Report Manager in BI-VPC wherein I can create and edit the “folder”,”Report Builder”,and “Datasource” or we are not permitted to access this one?

2. I got an error msg when I tried deploying my report model project from BIDS using this targetURL: http://bi-vpc/ReportServer. The error below was what I got.

“The path of the item ‘/Data Sources/Adventure Works’ is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash”

I tried using the default URL which is the http://localhost/ReportServer but I got this error “Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error” instead.

Did anyone encountered the same problem before? Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
