Cannot use vhdattach in wine.
For reading the contents of the old win 7 - system i cloned the disc with disk2vhd on the original system and transferred it to Ubuntu.
VHDAttach is a small utility to just read the content of the vhd file
I installed VHD Attach 3.8.0 successfully. But it starts up with the message: This program requires Windows 7 or later.
Is there anyone having an idea to make it run? I'm thankful for any hint.
Environment: Ubuntu 13.10, wine 1.7.12 - Standard Windows Version is set to Windows 7
Thanx
Tom

Re: virtual disc VHD
Why don't you just use Virtual Box to read the VHD file?
Re: virtual disc VHD
dimesio is correct virtualbox can do read perfectly fine.

The more correct answer is qemu-nbd. Depends on what the VHD is. If its really a disc you use qemu-nbd.
go_ubu I am sorry to say wine does not in fact emulate the devices layer to allow VHD Attach to ever work. Yes VHD Attach is not exactly telling the complete truth. The error message is not a OS version check its a feature check.
There is also not a tool to link qemu-nbd or ntfs3g up to right click menus under Linux.
If the VHD is a single ntfs partition ntfs3g can in mount it directly but the VHD unpacking is normally better in qemu-nbd.
go_ubu there are a lot of different utils that wine will never run. VHD Attach is one of those Utils. There is no particular reason for wine to run it. Linux native solutions do the job very well other than being inconveniently command line.

Thank you for the fast response and your help.
Virtualbox didn't work at the first try. I'll do it again with the hints at paratools.com.
