[Solved]XP mode not working after installation

So today I installed Windows XP mode on my Windows 7 64 bit PC by following this URL: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7


After completing the installation without any error, to my surprise , I couldn’t see the “Windows XP Mode” in start menu programs.  After investing some time on Google I came to know that we also need install Windows Virtual PC file

(KB958559) before or after  Windows XP mode installation. Once I downloaded  and installed the file, XP Mode started working fine and was added to my Start Menu as well . After installing KB958559, it will ask you to reboot the computer.
Here are the download links for KB958559.
