Vista on virtual server

Tried to install Vista on a Virtual Server. The DVD with Vista loads, and
then stops and gives an error message:

File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000035a
Info: Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not
compatible with 64-bit mode.

I'm running Virtual Server 2005 R2 on Windows XP Pro 64 Edition. Is it
possible to run Vista 64-bit edition inside a Virtual Server?

Greetings,
Wessel

No - VS2005R2 will only run 32-bit programs in it.

Thanks for your answer.
I assumed the 64-bit version of VS2005R2 would be able to host 64-bit OS,
but appearantly not.

VS 2005 R2 runs on 64bit hosts but only supports 32bit guests. Support of
64bit guests will not come until sometime during the Longhorn wave. There
is a difference between the program Virtual Server, which does not need
virtualization to run, and the guests which do. VS virtualizes a 32bit cpu
for use of the guests.
