                                                         Virtual machine needs adequate resources  | 
                                                    
                                                         Make sure that the machine containing the virtual images has adequate resources.  |

                                                         Each package should be in its own folder  | 
                                                    
                                                         Each package that you add to an Automated Application Converter project should be in an individual folder, especially if they are uncompressed packages.  |

                                                         Manually test a virtual machine before adding it to an Automated Application Converter project  | 
                                                    
                                                         Before adding a virtual machine to your Automated Application Converter project, boot it up manually to make sure it is running properly. Make sure that no message boxes open (such as a Failure to Start Service error message) that would require user input.  |

                                                         Turn off Windows Update on the virtual machines  | 
                                                    
                                                         To avoid problems with repackaging, turn off Windows Update on the virtual machines.  |
