USB software protection dongle problem

Post by edwinmachiels »

Hi,

I'm using vBox 2.0.6 on a Vista business Host and I'm running a Windows Xp guest. (both x86)
When settting up a standard usb key filter it works perfectly, however when using a KEYLOK software protection dongle it will not work.

The dongle is recognized with vboxmanage.
<< vboxmanage output >>
UUID: f6a40313-d613-4dc1-8f9a-af6ecc59a587
VendorId: 0x07f2 (07F2)
ProductId: 0x0001 (0001)
Revision: 0.0 (0000)
Address: {7c485487-0af4-11d4-ba51-004005a6c1c4}\0000
Current State: Busy

However when trying to activate inside Winxp host. This error comes up
<< Host error >>
USB device '<unknown>' with UUID {84dcdaaf-975d-41ac-9db6-e9830bb9bc76} is busy with a previous request. Please try again later.

Result Code: E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)
Component: HostUSBDevice
Interface: IHostUSBDevice {173b4b44-d268-4334-a00d-b6521c9a740a}
Callee: IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}

All necessary drivers are installed on the guest as on the host.

The device is from the manufacturer: KEYLOK.

Does anyone have an idea?

Might be a UUID issue? As the UUid are not identical (host - guest)

The device is currently busy. To mount it in VB, unplug it, have the VM on top with focus, then plug it back in. It should be grabbed by the VM directly. You might get a new hardware found wizard on the Host, that's normal. It will install the VB USB driver for that device so VB can send it to the VM.
