Problems running vbm on Windows 7

Post by awachens »

Hi guys I have Windows 7 and virtualbox 5.1 (I think, don’t remember now).
When I try to run an image of Windows server 2003 for example ... send me an error ... and don’t create a virtual machine on users/virtualbox machine ...
but if I use detachable option run ok...
Why I have this problem is really annoying...

Thx and regards !

Please report error messages precisely.

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

"Send me an error" doesn't cut it.

As a shot in the dark you may want to fix this:

I wish I had known the exact error sooner. What you have there is a hardening error, so you need to read the hardening FAQ: FAQ: Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues.

If you have further questions then I'd need the hardening log mentioned in the error messages (as a zip attachment please).

Hi guy, sorry for the delay.

I have this line in log of hardening:

LdrLoadDll: returns rcNt=0x0 hMod=000007fefbaf0000 'C:\Windows\system32\uxtheme.dll'
182c.11dc: supR3HardNtChildWaitFor[2]: Quitting: ExitCode=0x1 (rcNtWait=0x0, rcNt1=0x0, rcNt2=0x103, rcNt3=0x103, 822 ms, the end);
144c.15b4: supR3HardNtChildWaitFor[1]: Quitting: ExitCode=0x1 (rcNtWait=0x0, rcNt1=0x0, rcNt2=0x103, rcNt3=0x103, 1169 ms, the end);

So i think i have not problems with DLL, no ? In the guide it says: if you have error code 0 then you don't have a hardening problem at all.

Or maybe he refers to this:
ExitCode=0x1

Regards and thx a lot !!!

Did you read the instructions from mpack?

An "ExitCode=0x1" means that you *DO* have a problem.
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.

It looks like you may have a hacked Windows theme (uxtheme.dll). This was mentioned in the faq.

Hi guy, good morning.

Yes i read some think about uxtheme.dll at FAQ.

In the first two cases the fix is to exclude the DLL or replace it with one with a valid certificate. --> How can i exclude ?

Regards !

Edit: I saw this on internet:

Regsvr32 /u uxtheme.dll

But.. What's up when i do this ? What problem can i create ?

Edit 2:

When i try :
Regsvr32 /u uxtheme.dll

The uxtheme.dll module was loaded but the DIIUnregisterServer entry point was not found.

Make sure that uxtheme.dll is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again

You can't exclude uxtheme.dll, it's a system DLL. You must replace it with the original version, which is signed by Microsoft and not hacked since. Sometimes you can get away with placing a copy of the unhacked uxtheme.dll in the VirtualBox Program Files folder.

I don't know what on earth you're trying to do by unloading an important system component on the command line, but I suggest that you stop immediately. Thankfully the error message implies that it ignored you.

@awachens
You already have the answer in Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues. Please read it! All of it! Don't simply keep repeating the questions if the questions have been answered!

Run "sfc /scannow" from an Administrator account.
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.
