installing virtual server 2005 r2

I have installed the Virtual Server 2005 R2 trial on the Vista 5308 build and am having problems with getting into the Vistual Servers adminitration site it seems that the virtual directory does not get installed correctly on vista.
Has anyone got this running ?
TIA Ranjit

Have you installed IIS7 on your Vista machine? Some people have said that installing VS2005 R2 has been difficult on Vista, however installing Vista on VS2005 R2 is meant to be very easy ;o)

IIS 7 is installed the website configuration etc looks fine in IIS 7.0, but the default installation directory
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual Server"
(the directory that contains the Virtual Machines and Virtual Networks directorties along with Options.xml and VSLicense.xml)
do not exist
but the "Shared Virtual Machines" and "Shared Virtual Networks" directories are generated but the Administrative website is not acessable.
