Unable to install Windows 7 x64 guest OS with EFI

Post by nghi »

Hello,

I would like to try out Windows 7 x64 guest OS with EFI support running on VirtualBox 3.2.10, but so far without much success. As soon as I launch Windows BOOTX64.EFI during initial Windows installation, I get a critical error message from VirtualBox.

I am wondering if VirtualBox 3.2.10 supports this type of installation?

Many thanks.
