[Qemu-devel] Emulation problem with Embedded Visual Tool

[Leandro Dardini]

Hi,
I find impossibile to install the "Embedded Visual Tool" from Microsoft 
using latest QEMU (tested 0.7 and latest snapshot) and Windows 2000.

Using QEMU+KQEMU bring an error during the first part of install, see 
image attached. It is in italian and following there is the translation:
"Sottosistema Windows a 16 bit" -> "16 bit Windows Subsystem"
"La CPU NTVDM ha riscontrato una exception non gestita" -> "CPU NTVDM 
encounters  an unsupported exception"
"Scegliere chiudi per terminare l'applicazione" -> "Choose Close to 
terminate the application".

Dropping the KQEMU kernel module and performing again the installation 
with pure software emulation, emulation is better and only when 
installing SDK there is a problem during "Updating Registry", when the 
installation rollbacks.

Trying to install the same Win2000 and the same "Embedded Visual Tool" 
on a real hardware, give no problem and installation went smooth.

"Embedded Visual Tool" is available for free from Microsoft at the 
followin url:

I hope someone can investigate this issue.
