I've also used the virtual XP when working with some legacy apps (originally ported from Foxpro 2.6, so you know they go back a ways). It works, but it takes a while to load XP and it adds another layer of overhead - I'd sure prefer NOT to depend on it for my daily development environment.Wouldn't it be a better use of your time to just wade through the documentation and figure out how to do what you need with the new IIS manager? I agree it's a PITA to work with but I can eventually get it to do what I want if I dig deep enough. If you deploy to a 2008 server you'll end up having to deal with it anyway, since they use the same interface.

Thanks Bob...
Yes it is. I have to support code on a few legacy XP machines and successfully use VMWare Player on my Win7 system. Load XP, VFP and have at it.
Info found here.

I am running on windows 7 and am very frustrated with the iis interface. Is it possible to load a virtrual machine, load XP OS and foxpro and wconnect and develop software?
Thanks in advance.
