sorry for being no help with your problem, scott. i never tried the software on vista. nevertheless, there have been some reports of successful installs on vista (32bit) though...firecat53 wrote:Well, I've just given up on Virtualization on Vista, period. Vmware required the use of unsigned drivers on every reboot, virtualbox seemed to be unstable, and i couldn't get the auto start/shutdown working right, and neither dealt well with raw hard disk access. Still using Vbox on my Ubuntu laptop to run xp if I need it, but on VISTA it all just sucked! Ok, I tried to be green and virtualize one of our computers, but I'm gonna have to try again someday when I have a non-vista machine to use
Thanks for trying to help, mattz!

Edit: : If you experience the issue of your vm's not being fired up by the service, check your xml file and replace any possible relative links with their appropriate absolute values. check this post: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. ... c&start=67 for background information on this problem (thanks to nimrod for investigating the issue). ______________ PS: If you are applying for help here, please make sure to post your setup's complete configuration: - Machine outline (Processor, etc...) - Windows Version and Service Pack Level - VirtualBox Version - VBoxVmService Version - your complete .INI file |
Edit: the runfiles will be deleted last in the shutdown process, so it might be that your system just doesnt stay active long enough to kill all files. I was planning to add a "brute force clearup" option to the service on startup, since i encountered similar problems on two or three machines. I just didn't find an option to prioritize the vboxvmservice to be an "early shutdown candidate" within a reboot or halt sequence yet. any suggestions here, anyone? |
