Running a new program within Virtual Box

Post by craftyalice »

I have installed Windows 7 32-bit in Virtual Box 5.1.26 on Windows 10 64-bit and it is working.
I then installed the Extension pack because it was not reading my USB drive with the program on it I wanted to run (Broderbund Create-a-Card 5).

It just does not see the USB drive. The icon at the foot says no USB.

At some point I did manage to copy over the needed files to Windows Explorer.
When I run setup.exe (CAC5) from Windows Explorer within Windows 7 it reads the SD card with Windows 7 iso on it and tries to install Windows 7 within Windows 7!

Where am I going wrong?

Please read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts. If you still have a problem after reading through the whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
