Problem with custom-rolled Virtualbox

Post by VKalenic »

(mod edit: originally posted under "Discuss the 6.1.32 release")

I have troubles with 6.1.32 too
Host is Win10. Win10 VM is starting

Two modal windows instead of VM starting:
1st - NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: 0xc0000034; STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND (0 retires) (rc=-101)
2nd - E_FAIL (0x80004005); MachineWrap

After returning to 6.1.30 all is fine without any further changes.

@VKalenic: Here's a link to the last time (I can find) someone discussed that problem. It does not seem to be a 6.1.32 problem.

Thank you for a hint. I think I found the reason.
Actually I use prepared portable version of the VIrtualBox last years. Last release is on https://github.com/timsky/Portable-Virt ... ag/Release.
The application prepares VB using extracted VB installation, starts proper services in the begin, finishes then in the end and used to be worked fine.

In release 6.1.32 I finally found that service VBoxDrv renamed to VBoxSup. Probably it is the reason. Portable application doesn't find proper service.
I will contact to vbox.me support about this. Probably I have to use static version of VB since 6.1.32.

Ahem. You should always mention when there is something non-standard about your setup.

Anyway I need portable version. So I've rebuilt the application with renaming service inside a source. This is opensource, so it was simply.
And now it works fine. Thus the renamed service was the only reason of that error in the portable version.

Split to separate topic.

"Anyway"ing forum gurus is not a good way to keep getting help from said gurus. Mpack had a very valid point about your not telling the whole story, and you would be wise to listen, Padawan. :wink:
