Hello,

last weekend I installed a Windows 7 pre-release test version (build 7000) in VirtualBox 2.1.0 in WinXP, SP3.
Win7 works fine, as far as you can state for a test release,. I also tried to install Guest Additions with Win7 but GA mentioned it didn't recognize the operating system (not really a surprise of course...)

So there's no mouse integration, no seamless mode and no network connection available in the Win7 setup in VB. I can live without the first two but I would really appreciate a working network connection here.

Considering the fact that we are talking about a very early version of MS' new operatings system my hopes are not very high but maybe someone here has a workaround to get the network working in this setup.

Rgrds,

Peter

Try Intel e1000 or use a Windows version that is final.

Changing the network adapter to Intel did the trick.

Thanks!

Peter

running the installer in vista compatibility mode works also..

Tried running the installer in Vista mode but didn't work, regarding the network functionality.

Windows 7 is now installed as 'Other Version' with Intel network adapter.
