Never will. VPC only supports 32bit VMs. No 64bit VMs.

Other questions should be directed to the correct newsgroup. This one
is for the Mac product, not the Windows version of VPC.

You want: microsoft.public.virtualpc

Are you trying to install 64-bit XP onto MacOS X's VPC for Macintosh on
a PPC Macintosh? I don't think the emulator supports 64-bit.

If you're trying to install it into an Intel Macintosh, VPC doesn't work
on Intel Macs. You can use Bootcamp, VMware, or Parallels instead.
