    Hi @ all :doofywave:

    Is it still possible to activate a Win7 via SLIC with VB7?

    I downloaded various files (vbxbios, BiosAlternative) from this thread and added with setextradata, but without success till now.

    Edit: >>>THIS<<< worked for me.

    Yes, it still works. Just shut down the Win7 guest, and Virtualbox Manager if it is running, and add a line similar to this to the vbox file

    Code:
    <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/acpi/0/Config/CustomTable" value="path/to/your/SLICTABLE.bin"/>
    
    You can find collections of slic bin files elsewhere on MDL.

    7.0.16 tanked me with my first GSOD ever. I had blue screens but never seen a green one on any of my machines.

    The culprit is the network driver (VBoxNetLwf.sys)

    I'm going back to 7.0.14

    Not working for me.

    The installer does nothing and turns in a zombie process impossible to terminate w/o rebooting

    VirtualBox-7.0.15-162549-Win.exe seem working as expected (I was on 7.0.14)

    Edit:

    Nevermind seem it was a corrupt download, redownloaded it and it did install.

    So far no green screens

    Somewhat off-topic, but does VB 7.xx work on Windows 7 hosts? I see Win7 is not officially supported any more, but is there any chance to install it?
