IIS 7.0 Full install on Vista Ult. 64-bit SP1 Virtual Server acces

J.R.

I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and have installed all features of IIS
7.0. I am now trying to install Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 downloaded
yesterday from Microsoft (latest version 64-bit version). When I attempt the
install, the application only shows port 80 (uneditable) available and I wish
to install it to use 1025 as the instructions in Virtual Server 2005
recommend. I am trying to set up a lab to test some deployment solutions and
Group Policy settings using Virutal Server 2005 and Virtual PC as described
in Jeremy Moskowitz' books Creating the Secure Managed Desktop and Group
Policy: Fundamentals, Security, etc. The authentications are not correct
either and a get a message that multiple websites are not allowed with the
IIS installation on Vista. I have had similar problems with VMWare Server as
well. I know I'm doing something wrong in IIS setup and permissions but need
some help to find the problem. Thanks in advance.

Your book shows instructions when run on Windows Server 2003, and
since you are using completely different OS, you have to expect
behavior to be different.

Virtual Server 2005 (any version) will only allow port 80 installation
on a client OS like Vista (any version) because IIS on client OS only
allowed one website on any port.
