Creating Win 7 VM fails

[steve723]

I am trying to create a Windows 7 32bit VM and get an error when starting from the DVD to install the OS. I get the following error:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 7.

Invalid parameter. (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

Any idea how to fix this?
I tried Win XP but I only have SP1 and since it's no longer supported... I removed the VM and I am trying Win 7. To bad VB doesn't support 64 bit Win 7.

You are trying to create a Win7 guest? So you post in "Linux Guests"? Clarify please.

Please provide a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

To bad VB doesn't support 64 bit Win 7.

We prefer VirtualBox or VBox. "VB" means Visual Basic. VBox certainly does support Win7-64bit, both as host and guest.

Oops wrong forum. I missed read.

Moved to Windows Guests, but I'm still waiting for that log.

It saved as a document file. How do I save it as a zip file?

If you mean you opened the log in a program (Wordpad, Word, etc), don't. As far as ZIP, most operating systems have built-in support, so you can right-click on a file and ZIP it. It may say "Compress", "Archive" or something similar. Look in the documentation of your OS. What is your OS???

VB doesn't support 64 bit Win 7.

Please go thoroughly through the FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests.
