Hi Lutz
I use SDL Trados 2007 on a virtual machine running in transparent mode on Ubuntu and it works fine.

Hi Anto,
Please allow me to revive this post.
Following a serious hard disk crash on my main PC (just over 1 year old!) I got back to my older hard disk with only 160 GB. My laptop running Windows XP is my backup system for work at the moment, but I would love to have a full setup on my desktop PC with the virtual machine option you mention.
I have successfully installed Ubuntu 12.04 and VirtualBox. Here I am running a Windows XP virtual machine. All Windows XP updates and Office 2007 are also properly installed on this virtual machine, but when I try to install SDL Trados 2007 (SP2), the installation fails exactly at the "SDL 2007 Freelance" step. Obviously I choose not to proceed with the rest of the components as this is the key one for me.
The Setup program uncompressed OK both msi files (SDLT2007FL.Msi & ISScript1050.Msi) but then a Windows Installer windows appears with parameters instructions and only an OK button at the bottom. So I click on "OK" and the next window is "Failed to install SDL Trados 2007 Freelance. Continue with other components?"
I have tried several times and the scenario is always the same. I am not sure of what to try next. Does it ring any bell to you? Any tip you could provide?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Elena

Hi,
Is it possible to update Net framework on a virtual XP? Have you tried it? Or have you already found another solution? [/quote]
Hi,
Sorry about replying so late, I stopped following this thread as I almos gave up on this.
Net Framework updates successfully just like any other Windows update. Three versions (framework 2.0 and 3.0 both with SP2 and framework 3.5 SP1) are currently installed on my Windows XP running on VirtualBox. However, no joy yet as to SDL Trados 7 installation. Still the same error, so I still have to use an older laptop for Trados jobs.
