Windows XP with Virtual PC mode will not be installed / two problems

Hello!
I have Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and I want to follow the instructions here:

https://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/Download.aspx?runGenuineCheck=true&system=5&lang=4&ButtonClicked=winXpMode

to install and run Virtual PC so I can see if some legacy XP software I have will work.

FYI, I use a Lenovo W520 laptop with an i7 to 2.4 ghz with 8 GB of RAM.

I followed step 1/2 and downloaded the file of 500 MB for Windows XP Mode.  I installed it.

: #1 there is a note at the bottom of the page that says "once you have installed Windows XP Mode, click the Windows 7 start button, then select all programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode to begin the installation." For more information about how to configure Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, see "Running Windows XP Mode with Windows Virtual PC" on page Support and videos . "

I am looking at the view of all programs and there is absolutely nothing that says "Windows Virtual PC" or "Windows XP Mode".  I look at the programs and features in the control panel and indeed, Windows XP mode is installed (and taking up 1.13 GB).  I have uninstall and re-download the 500 MB file and reinstall it.  It is not always appear in the sight of all programs, does not add an icon to my bar quick launch or desktop or anything that suggests a way to start.  It is located in C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode, but there is no executable file it.

Problem #2: Step 3 says "Download Windows Virtual PC".  When I click on this button, the download starts, but never works (I tried several times, notably after a clean reboot, with nothing other than the execution of Internet Explorer); I get an error window that says:

Windows Update Standalone install

Setup has encountered an error: 0 x 80070422

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.

What's not?

Thank you.

Notes; After the announcement of this issue, some Associates questions skipped upward and I read through them.  Points of a post on this forum-> http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/8247-windows-xp-mode-install-setup.html , which suggests that the #2 problem is my problem because I followed along until ste #5-E and then I get the error message 0 x 80070422.
