Hi everyone, i'm using a ViurutalBox 5.0 on an Ubuntu 15.10 Host,and i create a Win7 32bit VM as Guest OS.

Everything is fine at the beginning,but when i tried to install an private application of my company,i got an error indicator says:" does not support Virtual Machine,Type-2".

The application i tried to install is something like "document safer",it works perfectly fine in a real Win7 32bit environment,but keep on failing in the VM envrionment.

What Could i do to fix this ?

Thanks very much.

Some applications do not allow themselves to be installed in a VM, for piracy reasons.

There are many ways for an application to detect that it's running in a VM, and no way to prevent it. You would need to contact the technical support for that application if you believe you have legitimate reasons to run the app in a VM.
