I want to make some python scripts to create an "Appliance" with VirtualBox. However, I can't find any documentation anywhere on making calls to VBoxService.exe. Well, I've found stuff that works from OUTSIDE the Machine, but nothing from working from inside the machine. Does anyone know anything about this? If there's a library for ano...
I had a previous post on how to make memorystream play in wmp activex and got a reply with a link to boxedapp sdk. It's not a freeware so I studied the process and I figured out that it is using a virtual file for the stream to be saved and that its filename is used as the URL. So, my question is how to create a virtual file that returns...
This is the fifth time now, tried different machines, different drive sizes,even tried both Vista and XP, nothing seems to work. I installed a virtualbox VM. Set up an OS, then try to set up VS2008. And then the VS2008 installation crashes with the following error log [04/13/09,14:27:31] setup.exe: [2] ISetupComponent::Pre/Post/Insta...
Where is the best place to find VirtualBox's C# samples? ...
Is there an official way for an application to determine if it is running in VMWare or Virtual PC (or whatever Microsoft is calling it now)? The code I have seen is usually a hack that took advantage of some odd behavioral side effect in a specific version of VMWare or Virtual PC. Ideally Delphi code, but if you can link to an offici...
Hello. I'm trying to control latest Sun VirtualBox via it's COM interface from Python. But, unfortunately, the following code don't work: import win32com.client VBOX_GUID = "{B1A7A4F2-47B9-4A1E-82B2-07CCD5323C3F}" try : oVbox = win32com.client.Dispatch( VBOX_GUID ) oVbox.FindMachine( "kubuntu" ) except Exception as oEx: print str...
I installed Windows 7 RC build 7100 64 bit, When I try to boot the installer of Debian Lenny or Squeeze inside VirtualBox it stucks on analizing the cd, or installing packages. The Cds are working perfect, with them I was able to install directly on the computer, and previously with Windows build 7000 I didn't have this issue. I'm on a...
I am setting up an IIS server to do some ASP programming, just as soon as I solve this very relevant pre-programming problem... The IIS server is located in a VirtualBox server, and I'm setting up a virtual directory to point to a shared directory ("a share located on another computer," e.g., \\server\serve-this) which works perfectly ...
I want to sharpen my skills in terms of gnu/linux and get a better understanding of how servers work. So I thought I'd set up an apache webserver with ftp, ssh, svn etc. Since I use Adobe products everyday in my line of work installing a linux dist. straight on my machine isn't an option. Yes, I could probably do a dualboot with linux an...
I am trying to use the VirtualBox COM API (VBoxC.dll) from C#. I ran tlbimp VirtualBox.tlb against the typelib included in the VirtualBox SDK. Referencing the output assembly builds OK but at runtime I get a SafeArrayTypeMispatchException ("Specificed array was not of the expected type") whenever I try to access properties that retur...
For testing our product's installer, I maintain a tree of virtual machine snapshots with different previous versions installed. It is a tedious task to do Windows Update, re-snapshot, delete parent snapshot on each VM. Is there an automated solution for keeping a group of VMs up-to-date? I use VirtualBox but have access to VMware Workst...
I seem to end up evaluating a lot of software. This requires me to constantly install all kinds of things on my system. It creates a huge clutter and I spend a lot of time during the install process, and if I don't like it, then removing everything I've done. Much of my evaluation tends away from the features of the software being eva...
I have a local test/development server (http, of course), listening to port 8000, I'm working on Linux, so to test the page on IE6/7/8 etc I run a virtual machine using virtual box; I also need to see how it look on firefox in a windows environment (fonts for instance are different). In my real machine, I open the website simply using ...

Hello I have installed Debian as a VirtualBox guest on Windows XP. Now I have installed ssh and apache on this virtualized Debian yet I couldn't find a way to connect. I have already tried "10.0.0.2", "10.0.2.2" and inet addresses I get from running "ifconfig". (I can get the "it works!" page of apache2 when I try 127.0.0.1 under guest D...
I'm using the VirtualBox type library from C# as follows: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using VirtualBox; namespace ConsoleApplication { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { IVirtualBox vbox = new VirtualBoxClass(); IHost h = vbox.Host; ...
At the moment I'm developing using a simple editor, putty, and a VirtualBox instance of a linux server. I've heard good things about pydev and would like to try it, but I'd like to use the python install & terminal from my VirtualBox guest OS. I'm already using a Shared Folder with VirtualBox so my Guest OS can see my local files. Is i...

I am able to change to 1024x768 (32bpp) but then the screen is just blank... am testing it on VirtualBox... After setting the mode, is there anything else am supposed to do? ...
I'm a noob when it comes to virtualization so sorry in advance if this has been answered, but I checked the forums and if it has been answered I didn't understand it. I've seen people on the net offering images of a particular linux setup, and they offer it as either VMDK/VMX files or ISO files. Now an ISO seems to work with virtualbox,...
