    Hi,

    Have you ever set up

    en_windows_server_2012_release_candidate_datacenter_virtual_machine_x64

     

    within Virtualbox?

     

    I have got this issue when attaching such exe file to IDE controller. Is this not a suggested way to attach the exe file?


    Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min

    After you download the compressed VHD (comes as self extracting *.exe) double-click it to extract the VHD file.

    Thanks. BTW, do you know such OS is fine to run .Net 2008 express inside with IIS?

    Thanks Dave. I un-zipped that and then attached the extracted file to IDE controller but I got the similar issue like before with “status: 0xc0000225”. Here is the log

    But I don’t know why I can’t change it

    I haven't used virtualbox so I don't know either. Might want to ask them here.

    Thanks. Do you or anyone know if VM is better to use for running Windows as the guest?


    Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min

    Might ask them here what they're using. I'm sure it will run fine on VMWare ESXi if that's what you're asking about.

    Try Chipset: ICH9 

    Also, it's better to ask Virtualbox related questions in their own forum

    Thanks. I already posted it there before your reply.

    The point is I can't change such Chipset option now.
