Thought it was about time to create a patch that adds the required OA 1.0 SLP string to the vBoxDD2.dll that allows you to use the XP Mode VHD in VirtualBox using the OEM pre-activation technique used in Windows XP. (Should be backwards compatible with every release in the 4.0.x version series)
Not only that, eg: the post I referred to is a few post below this one on the first page in the visualization section (something wrong with your eyes?) this post is about SLP & SLIC discussions and nowhere near related to your question
i use the latest vbslic.exe with VBox 4.08 r71778 (64bit) and i use it as: vbslic VBoxDbg.dll i got error message: The version of 'VBoxDbg.dll' is not supported any idea?
Wrong filename in your command, you need to use: vbslic VBoxDD.dll SLIC (SLIC filename is optional, otherwise uses default)
Just wanted to add my thanks to you for providing and updating this patch. I've certainly found it very useful!
How do I provide my own SLIC table to VirtualBox on a 64-Bit Ubuntu? I assume VBoxDD.so contains a predefined one (HP?). I assume the mentioned vbslic command line only works for Windows. Or are there supported environment variables such as: ****://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6086
Hi, 7oby Yes, VBoxDD.so contains a predefined slic table. You can change it with an hex editor Search for "SLIC" and replace the 374 ( 0x176 ) bytes block with your own table Just remember that VBoxDD.so may need to be root owned, 644 access mode: sudo chown root:root VBoxDD.so sudo chmod 644 VBoxDD.so
Trying to patch the 4.1.0.73009 for use with the XP Mode VHD... unfortunately when I patch the same location i previously did it won't properly boot if grub is installed
