Logo Test Failed?

Post by Virtual Box User »

I'm runnning Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit and when I try to install VB 3.2.8 it says something about it hasn't passed the Windows Logo Test or something. So can I ignore this message or not? Yes, I'm trying to install the Windows version of VB 3.2.8.

Yes, you can ignore the message. VBox is an open source app with many users - you don't need Microsoft's (bribed) word for it that the app is ok.

Incidentally: you posted this message three times, which is really rather irritating. Once you click "submit" your message is posted. Do not then click the browser back button, make changes and "submit" again. Instead you should navigate to your message in the forum, then click the "edit" button shown beside that message (you will only see this button beside your own messages and only when you are logged in).

I removed the duplicate topics. When you post a topic and your browser gives a time out, check if the topic is actually posted before using the back button of your browser to try again. And don't use the refresh button either, as it can send the same data again, creating a duplicate as well.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.

See the Tutorials and FAQ section at the top of the Forum for more guides.
Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.

Actually I would be happy if we had WHQL'd version of VBox.

The main problem is that WHQL is not compatible with fast version release pace (Open-source practices), but having a special branch of WHQL'd VBox makes sense.
