Thumbs down Virtual PC won't run from Sandbox

When I double click on it, nothing at all happens. When I reboot to Macintosh HD, it runs fine.

That's strange: I use Virtual PC all the time from my Sandbox. Do you get any errors in the Console, Bud?

No console messages. Simply nothing happens.

When I created Sandbox, I had left VPC in a SAVED state. I hadn't shut it down. Should that matter? I shut it down just now but didn't reclone (because Sandbox has newer stuff) and then rebooted Sandbox. Same result.

Saved vs. unsaved shouldn't matter at all. What version of Virtual PC are you running?

Try manually copying the Virtual PC application from your Macintosh HD to the Sandbox (replacing the link). Will it run from there?

Can't manually copy it. Message says "One or more items have special permissions and cannot be copied. Do you want to skip them?" What now?

OK. Can you run it directly off the original location on Macintosh HD?

Regardless, we can modify the copy script to copy, rather than share, this application: that may resolve the problem. To do so:

- Create a new copy script
- Enter an appropriate description
- In the 2nd tab, include the original Safety Clone script you were using
- In the 3rd tab, navigate to the Virtual PC folder (or, if it's directly in Applications, to the application itself) under /Applications. Select it, and then change the command in front to "Copy".
- Save this with an appropriate name.

Then, re-safety clone, using your own script. That'll copy, rather than share, VPC -- let me know if it works like that.
