Already tried these, couldn't get them working. They are complaining about missing MSXML 4/6, even though I have it already installed. I will report all the Virtual PC related issues to Jira soon.
when you get the error missing MSXML 4/6 are you getting this during the install or when you start the application

i think i may have a fix for the missing MSXML 4/6 error but i need to look in to it

hi
i have a workaround to fix the problem
the problem is reactos ships withe an incompatible version of msxml4.dll msxml4a.dll msxml4r.dll and the installer may be installing the DLL file in the to \reactos\System or it may be failing to replace the dll files but when Virtual PC 2004 is starting it is using the incompatible version you need to manually replace msxml4.dll msxml4a.dll msxml4r.dll if you are using the install file from
https://winworldpc.com/product/virtual-pc/2004
you need to copy the files from the System folder on the iso to \reactos\System32 and replace the existing files

Note: Big pool table extension from PR#860 is needed in order to install and run Visual Studio 2010 on ReactOS. In addition, Samba (the NTLM auth provider) from rapps is required to run Visual Studio IDE.

You can create a virtual machine, it is still possible to go through the broken wizard dialogs, you might need to import the virtual hard drive though.

PowerStrip 3.90 on ReactOS. Most of the functionality (including GPU overclocking) appears to work.

As you may have noticed, ReactOS is installed on real hardware, if anyone wonders about the specifications:
ASrock P4Dual-915GL
Intel Pentium 4 2.40A @ 3.1GHz
1.5 GB DDR400 RAM
NVidia RIVA TNT2 M64 32 MB GPU (with NVidia 52.16 driver from rapps installed)
NVidia RIVA 128 PCI (not used)
Realtek AC'97 Audio

Thank you :)

ThrottleStop 8.70.2 on ReactOS, appears to be mostly functional, the CPU settings and voltage control are all working fine.

Detects only one core because ReactOS doesn't really support SMP (Multiprocessing).
Tested on ReactOS 0.4.12 dev build with VGal patches applied (installed on USB drive).

Notebook specifications:
Lenovo Y50-70
Intel Core i7 4710HQ
16 GB DDR3L 1600 RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4600 iGPU
NVidia GeForce GTX 860M dGPU
Realtek HD Audio

Aimp 2.61 plays sound correctly with replaced dsound.dll from win2k3 in fresh ReactOS nightly build! :D Although sometimes may appear an application error upon Aimp startup, but it doesn't interfere with the program's work. Earlier it crashed with this replaced dll. Without replacing, appeared error 23 (Can't initialize sound engine), same as now. See video: https://youtu.be/dcCUYksQw7M

No, it was only tested on VirtualBox, in fact my computer don't have a CD/DVD reader, I can't test on real hardware.

Then it is not an epic win. InfraRecorder (tested a month or so ago) runs but does not find a CD burner, though the computer has 2 drives, so it is not an epic win.
Please keep the Windows classic 9x/2000 look and feel.
The layman's guides - debugging - bug reporting - compiling - ISO remaster.
They may help you with a problem, so do have a look at them.
