Hi,

I've downloaded the BizTalk Server 2010 Developer Training Kit from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14865 As per instructions, when I run importVM.exe from command prompt (as administrator),

C:\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010 Training\Setup>importVM.exe "C:\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010 Training\VM\common\BizTalk2010Demo.vhd"

it gives following error;

------------------------------------------------------------

VJ, Have you tried using the Admin console?  I don't have hyper-v in front of me, but I had no issues using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.

I have not tried with Hyper-V yet.

I have done this about a 20 times and it works, I have created a cmd file and then run the command file as administrator.

Also, make sure that you don;t have the files in a compressed directory, Hyper-V will not allow the vhd to be in a compressed directory.

You cannot do this from the admin console the importVM.exe set some symbolic links to the base VHD and all the module VHD are differencing disks.

Were u able to resolve the above namespace issue issue ?

Can you please elobrate the steps you followed ?

I followed the instructions as specified and the following error occurred.

" System.Management.ManagementException: Invalid namespace "

Has anyone managed to solve this?

I have the same issue, running Windows 7 64Bit (Hyper-V is enabled).

The last I checked, Hyper-V is only available on the server platform. The MMC plugins may work on Windows 7. The BizTalk DEMO VM's are Hyper-V and as such would not work with Windows Virtual PC as the later does not support 64 bit guests and the virtual disk formats are different between the two.

Regards.

I am having the same problem with window server 2008 R2
