#9132 fixed Switching from 32-bit to 64-bit OS Type/version doesn't work Stephen Rondeau
Description

We inadvertently chose the default "Windows 7" (32-bit) OS type when defining a VM and then installing from a 64-bit Windows 7 .iso file. Windows 7 provided an error message, and we eventually figured out it was because we were running a 32-bit VM for a 64-bit OS. So, in the VirtualBox GUI we switched the Version (os type) to "Windows 7 (64 bit)", and started the VM again with the same .iso file, and the same error message appeared when Windows 7 tried to install.

We then defined another VM using "Windows 7 (64 bit)", used the same 64-bit Windows 7 .iso file to start the installation, and it worked fine. Consequently, I think something is wrong when switching between OS types, at least for "Windows 7" os type and "Windows 7 (64 bit)" -- that it doesn't set up the 64-bit environment properly.

#9204 duplicate Invalid settings detected Stephen Rondeau
Description

"Invalid settings detected" is the only message you receive at the bottom of the VirtualBox GUI's Settings page if there is a problem with settings. The lack of specifics makes it difficult to determine which settings are invalid. In our case, we had checked the "External Display" setting but did not provide any other information.

Is it possible to provide the name of the tab or something else that would allow us to focus on the setting in error?

#11423 fixed VBoxManage controlvm cannot change NIC promiscuous mode => Fixed in SVN Stephen Rondeau
Description

The VirtualBox GUI allows setting the promiscuous mode of a network adapter, but there is no corresponding way to do this via a VBoxManage controlvm option. Our use of VMs requires us to script the settings of many VMs at once while they are running -- at least, to the same extent as the GUI can -- so the more control we have via VBoxManage, the better.

Of course, we can do this with a powered-off VM using modifyvm and this option:

--nicpromisc<1-N> deny|allow-vms|allow-all

but we want to do this without powering off the VM.
