Changes
added info on Windows Virtual PC, for Windows 7
= VirtualPC 2007 =
This is a silent installer for Virtual PC 2007. Follow the [http://www.buit.org/2007/02/21/how-to-install-virtualpc-2007-unattended instructions] first. For more infos see [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ here].

= Windows Virtual PC =
Windows Virtual PC is a free add-on to Windows 7. See [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958559 KB958559] for information and a download link. For Windows 8, it's been replaced with Hyper-V.
While I tested the individual commands, this silent installer has not yet been fully tested because I decided on a solution that did not require Virtual PC. I'm posting it to the wiki in case it will be of use to others. If you verify that it works, please remove this note.
