    True he has put a lot of hard work into making it happen

    If someone starts over, S1ave77 should be the one who starts it... hopefully he has a local backup (google cache is useless, bbcode formatting is lost)

    You also can change the VHD uuid afterwards

    Code:
    "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands sethduuid "FILENAME.VHD" 545c51e3-1622-4a23-b30a-3e6befd1aff9
    BTW, you also have to change the above VHD uuid in the *.vbox file (2x) after changing it

    encourage everyone.
    We can put a bit each and achieve rebuilding.
    will be less room for error with the experiences.

    I mod another forum and we created a forum category called "Trash" and we MOVE there everything that we want to "delete". That way you clean up the forum but you never loose information. This is very useful to avoid this kind of problems.

    Cool was just posting the simple solution no .xml and .vbox editing required. I did think about it but as I am new to Vbox was wondering if VBoxManage.exe would work on the portable version.

    Thanks from me as well. I have no time to test right now, maybe tomorrow. I'm excited to try it out. Is there also a solution for Embedded 7 standard in Vbox portable?
    Windows 7 in Portable Vbox was already working for me, so I'll test with W8.

    Doesn't MDL make back-ups? Maybe a restore of the topic?

    I see, so this activation backup is not the ones from SoLoR, but new ones we have not seen before. How did you get them? Did you manage to activate against MS's server at some point?

    I'm sorry, but was there also a problem with Vbox and Windows 7? For me, the only problem was with (portble) Vbox with Windows 8 and Windows Embedded 7. Sorry if I missed something.

    I will have a look at it tomorrow (I don't have my VM host PC available right now). BTW, in my msg 4246 I wanted to type "Windows 7", but initially forgot the "7". Please read my edited msg.

    Not sure about the version of Windows 7 you have but the ATM Backup is included which will work for Win7/Pro/Ent/32/64. You will need .NET 4 and the KB update.
    Edit the config.ini

    Lets try keep Q&A to a minimum and wait for the resurrection of the thread. Need some sleep. cheers

    Just finished testing activation restore on Win8 Pro 64bit (Original ATM was on Win8 Ent 32bit edit config.ini, Remember Pro not Professional)
    Works fine and I changed the NIC. To install 64 bit on the supplied Appliance you just need to change the version in the settings to 64 bit.
    Also for those of you that didn't note it Windows 8 in a VM requires the Processor to have Hardware Assisted Virtualisation on the VM Host.
    You can't also run to VM Hosts on one PC without disabling one eg. Hyper-V and then try start VBox on your server.

    I am really going to bed now. Cheers

    Make sure your time zone is configured properly as usual. I'm in CST time zone, which is -06:00 I believe.
