#1464 fixed Windows XP guest hangs on boot with network adapter enabled on Ubuntu 8.04 host Benjamin Kay
Description

I have installed Virtualbox 1.6.0 on an x86_64 Intel machine running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron as a host. After installing Windows XP Professional (the 32-bit version) as a guest, the guest hangs when it boots up. The guest boots normally and does not hang if the emulated network adapter is disabled.

Both of the PCnet-FAST adapters cause the guest to hang. The Intel network adapter doesn't cause a hang, but that's probably only because I haven't installed Windows XP drivers for it. In fact, if the driver for any network adapter is installed after the guest boots then it works fine, and it won't hang until the guest is rebooted. This bug applies to Virtualbox 1.5.6, 1.6.0, and possibly other versions that I haven't tested. This is not a regression in 1.6.0; it is a new problem that started after I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon to Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.

There is a workaround:

  1. Install the guest with the network adapter disabled.
  2. Enable the PCnet-FAST III adapter.
  3. Boot the guest.
  4. The guest will automatically install drivers for the interface after it boots up. Now you can use the network normally.
  5. Before you shut down the guest, go into the Windows device manager and uninstall the driver for the network adapter (disabling it isn't good enough).
  6. Return to step 3 when desired.
  7. If you forget to do step 5, disable the network adapter and boot the guest. Make sure the driver has been uninstalled from the device manager, then shut the guest down and return to step 2.

This bug may be related to, or a duplicate of, bug #1460. Others have not reported any problems with the Hardy Heron host, so this bug may be specific to x86_64.

I've attached logs of the PCnet-Fast adapters causing a hang.

#1465 invalid Unable to initialize VB 1.6.0 on Vista Home Premium. Need to remove it wbarrys
Description

I just installed the latest version of Virtualbox (1.6) on a Vista Home Premium machine. I have tried everything to make it work. All I get is a blank screen, no errors. I would like to remove it completely from my pc, using add / remove programs. However, I'm getting the following error. "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2738"

Help!

Thanks,

#1466 fixed announced backward compatibility link "VBoxVRDP->VBoxHeadless" is wrong in Windows => Fixed in SVN Mathias Herrmann
Description

quoted manual: "VirtualBox therefore comes with yet another front-end that produces no visible output on the host at all, but instead only delivers VRDP data. With VirtualBox 1.6, this “headless server” is now aptly called VBoxHeadless. (In previous versions, it was called VBoxVRDP. For the sake of backwards compatibility, the VirtualBox installation still installs an executable with that name as well.)"

So the link should be going by the name of "VBoxVRDP", but it is actually "VBoxRDP" with a missing second "V" instead. This brings up some compatibility issues with (e.g.) my contributed project "VBoxVmService" or any secondary software, that would call the deprecated "VBoxVRDP" command...
