Use one Virtual PC 6 disk image on a multi-user machine
Authored by: finne on May 07, '03 04:44:37PM

Have you tried to copy the files that VPC creates in the user folders to the system folders and giving everyone permission? (eg: ~/Library/Preferences/VPC to /Library/Preferences/VPC) A normal OS X program should look in the central /Library for its required files before looking in the user ~/Library folder...

Yes, I tried that first. This method requires some logic to twiddle ownerships and move files around for it to work. Connectix didn't write VPC to work this way. It ignores /Library.

Don't argue with the man, he might find an old Minuteman laying around the office and decide its time for WWIII.
