Hello.
I have Virtual Box 3.2.8 installed and I need to stop and remove the vboxdrv kernel driver service without system restart and without uninstalling VirtualBox.
I have tried net stop, sc stop, WIN32 ControlService(), MSI service control table but in all cases the service remains stuck in STOP_PENDING and it can only be stopped and removed without system restart by uninstalling VirtualBox.
Hope you can help me on this one.

Re: Problem stopping vboxdrv
Sadly, I cannot talk about my project. Like I said, I need to stop and remove the vboxdrv kernel driver service without system restart and without uninstalling VirtualBox because I want to install an older version of vboxdrv kernel driver service and keep the current version of VirtualBox.
I have made the same test on a Win XP machine ( the first test was made on Win 7 ) and the service is also stuck in STOP_PENDING.

Without further explanation I can not help you.
Since it is obvious that you are trying to create a different application it falls outside the scope of this forum.
