I am having an issue where when I virtualize MS Office 2003 it comes up with a New Hardware found wizard. It finds Machine Debug Manager and Office Source Engine.



Has anyone seen this? Does anyone have a solution to fix this?

is this when you activate a layer or when you're capturing?



This can happen with activate when you capture, especially a global capture, and drivers get caught in the layer.

This happens after the layer has been activated. Yes, I did do a global capture of Office as I wanted to include the hotfixes and service packs in the layer. Any suggestions?

Solution

Delete the layer and create a new one via single capture, global should only be used in certain instances. to include patches and service packs in the read only there are two things you can do.



1) instead of capturing setup.exe capture cmd.exe and run setup.exe from there and then all the patchs and other updates. as long as the command prompt is open and you're running stuff from it it will all get captured into the read only layer.



2) after doing the initial capture deactivate the layer and then go to file->update layer and run a single capture for each update.
