Vista virtualization not working ?

Discussion in 'Windows Security' started by Vilius Mockûnas, Jul 30, 2009.

  1. Hello,

    I wanted to test windows vista virtualization. Running vista business 32bit.
    So I launched cmd process under administrative user running in admin
    approval mode (UAC on). Entered following commands:
    cd c:\windows
    echo some data>settings1.ini
    And got:
    access denied.
    Checked C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore - and no files were
    there.

    So my process was not virtualized.
    Why ?
    In what circumstances processes are virtualized ?
    How do I see virtualization in action - I need to understand that because
    installer of my business application is virtualized.


    thanks
    Vilius

    Windows Installer. If there are any others I'm not aware of them.
