Background:
+ Host machine is running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit with all the latest Windows Updates (Critical, Important and Optional).
+ Host machine utilizes an Intel I217-V NIC with Intel's latest v20.1 drivers (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/produc ... ion-I217-V).
+ I've installed VirtualBox v5.0.0 RC3 (VirtualBox-5.0.0_RC3-101436-Win.exe).
+ Installer + Driver installation logs are attached to this post (followed the instruction guide here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/MSI_Logging).
- setupapi.log is not included as I don't see one present in C:\Windows nor C:\Windows\Inf.
The issues:
1. VirtualBox's Bridged Network Adapter does not appear to be installed on my host machine, even though it clearly selected during the installation process.
Here's the end result in the host machine's Network Connections window:
2. After VirtualBox's installation, my host machine's NIC appears to be in a disabled state (as seen in the image above).
However, when I open my host machine's Device Manager, my host machine's NIC doesn't appear to be disabled (I can actually select 'Disable' from the context menu):
Furthermore, I still have have access to both physical machines on my physical network and the Internet.
3. When I select Bridged Adapter, (like so: http://i.imgur.com/50Qa381.png) and then proceed to turn on a VM, even an empty one that hasn't got an OS installed on it yet, I'm presented with the following error:
