An important note regarding the deployment of MED-V 2.0 when Windows 7 SP1 is already installed

imageWhen installing the MED-V 2.0 Host Agent, you must first deploy the Virtual PC components. If you have not installed Windows 7 Service pack 1, the requirements are straight forward:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg548583.aspx

The Virtual PC Engine can be downloaded and installed here:

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195918

However, please note, the VPC packages have changed to allow for the KB958559 updates to install with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 already in place. If you are using the original binaries available prior to Windows 7 Service Pack 1, they will not install.

The updated files at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195918 are:

Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu

Windows6.1-KB958559-x86-RefreshPkg.msu

In addition, if you have already installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1, the KB977206 updates are no longer needed as they are included in Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
