VM fails with VERR_CFGM_NOT_STRING after setting Dmi
Posted: 19. Apr 2009, 18:15
After setting the Dmi settings as described in the "Windows XP in both VM and native" thread I get this error when tryin to start the VM:
Configuration Error: Querying "DmiBIOSVersion" as a string failed (VERR_CFGM_NOT_STRING).
Seems that VBox expects a string but the number I get from the dmidecode was "0405". If I manually change the value in the XML file to include a space before the number the error goes away, but I don't think that will actually work
Any ideas how this problem can be circumvented?
Thanks
