Windows 2012 RC2 Not installing

Post by DanZvi »

When I install I get an error

Error Code: 0x000000C4

I'm using the settings for Windows 2008 (64 bit) is this correct?

This is the iso:

9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_EN-US-IR3_SSS_X64FREE_EN-US_DV9.ISO

Found the solution:

Need to type this command:

VBoxManage setextradata 2012Server VBoxInternal/CPUM/CMPXCHG16B 1

Really that's completely ridiculous...

Had you posted what I asked for this more than likely was not necessary. The only reason that you needed that command was your version of VirtualBox was not new enough to have included the Windows 2012 template or you have selected the wrong guest in the setup.

There is a Windows 2012 in the guest settings if your version is new enough. If you do not have this and are running older version of VirtualBox I suspect you will see more issues in the future.
