use virtual Pc or VMWare..its' very easy to setup a virtual machine. it's like to intall a new computer, but you don't need a new hardware ;-)

It has nothing to do with the ROM itself, but with the version of the RUU. HTC simply didn't made a VistaRUU for the (older) Prophet-model. The (newer) Trinity does have a VistaRUU, that's why there are two versions. Unfortunally the RUU's are model-specific, so we can't exchange them (tried it already ofcourse )
So, some genius has to modify a VistaRUU for use with the Prophet (or the other way around). BTW I do have one RUU that does work with Vista, but it isn't able to read any other nk.nbf then the one it came with.

Virtual Pc don't emulate the USB connection.

I myself did create a second bootpartition on my PC with XP. So, now when I startup, I can choose between my main OS (Vista) or the second one (XP).
It is called dualboot. It is a bit of a hassle to set up if Vista is already installed, but the advantage is that XP runs native, without any emulation.
Here it is described very punctual: http://www.anichillus.net/index.php?PHPSESSID=rho4r4287rcptee39sv57rm0f3&topic=26.msg43#msg43

I have ruined my new VISTA notebook, cos I tried to make dualboot OS. Now it goes to Service Center.. Eventhough I just buy for 3 days..
And it won't cover buy warranty..****..
Better to run everything under XP actually.

Make "search" button your best friend!!
I'm using Vista ultimate edition and never had a problem upgrading my JAMin using old or new method! I even made HardSPL with vista just replace and edit .bat file! (why should i install another windows using virtual machine!!!)
This is the one...
Vista upgrade guide should be followed (once) to be able to use the vista_RUU
Guide vailable here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=1600161
or here (same as above):

IF you only wants The vista-RUU:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=60781&d=1197014861
All what you have to do is to replace the .nbf file and upgrade!
Note: I have been using this since long time and never had problem upgrading my prophet (G3) in windows vista in any matter!

sorry to hear that man... hopefully next time it's ok

i use VMware Workstation, this program has full usb support and i have had no problems with it. just make sure you install the vmtools and dont plug in your phone until you have loaded XP fully and have it full screen.
this i found is the best way for things to happen (updates etc). also usful for bios updates since VISTA doesn't work fully yet

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. As I said, it gave me a hassle too, but nothing I couldn't fix with the help of the instructions.

You are right, this is a way to get things going with Vista. The downgrade of the USB drivers makes it possible to flash "traditional", I'm doing that succesfully from April last year. But to use a RUU, is a different cup of tea.
The VistaRUU you use is for G3 only.... you've guessed, my device is G4....
