title: Windows XP and Vagrant

# {{ page.title }}
Getting Windows XP and Vagrant to play together needs some manual
labour.
General steps are:
- install [WinRM](https://github.com/WinRb/WinRM) (on host)
- install [vagrant-windows](https://github.com/WinRb/vagrant-windows)
- install Windows XP SP3
- install the latest .NET Framework 2.0
- install [Windows Management Framework](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929)
- try to make `winrm quickconfig` to work on the guest
- install symlink driver
- create a vagrant base box
## Installing *vagrant-windows*
This should be a simple thing:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-windows
If your vagrant version is >=1.2.0, and vagrant-windows hasn't yet
released support for vagrant-1.2, then you need to manually do the
installation:
> git clone https://github.com/WinRb/vagrant-windows.git
> cd vagrant-windows
> bundler install
> rake build
> vagrant install plugin pkg/vagrant-windows-1.2.0.gem
This is atleast what I had to do. YMMV.
## Make `winrm quickconfig` working
Using the `quickconfig` subcommand you can get the WinRM interface
working quickly. It might work for you the first time, but atleast I
got some *Access Denied* errors. To make it work I had to google for
the error and I found a few different tips you could try:
- try to run the `winrm` command from an Administrator prompt (make sure that
the administrator account password is not empty!)
- run `Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa forceguest 0` or
the same command with `1` at the end
- try [this](http://www.shirmanov.com/2011/04/winrm-access-is-denied-on-local.html) tip
- see the troubleshooting section for the WinRM library
If the tips here do not work, you should be able to find more by
googling.
## Symbolic links
Directions can be found [here](http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html#symboliclinksforwindowsxp).
After installing, you can create symbolic links to network shares
and so on with the tool `ln.exe`:
C:\symlink> ln.exe -s "\\remote\share" share_from_remote
## Create a vagrant base box
vagrant package --base YourWindowsXpVMNameInVirtualBox --output YourWindowsXpVMNameInVirtualBox.box
vagrant box add YourWindowsXpVMNameInVirtualBox YourWindowsXpVMNameInVirtualBox.box
