Windows 7 – Can 64-Bit Guest OS Run in Virtual PC RC?

64-bitmicrosoft-virtual-pcwindows 7

Is it possible to have 64 bit guest OSes run in Virtual PC RC on Windows 7? I tried to install a Windows 7×64 Ultimate guest in Virtual PC, on a host PC running Windows 7×64, but got the following error:

Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode.

From what I have read, there is no workaround for this error using Virtual PC. Does anyone know how to get around this issue?

It simply does not work. Use VMWare or VirtualBox.
