cc4 virtual box

mjs_mjs · 04-11-2009, 04:17 PM

Just build my first cc4 machine within a virtual box and i'm a lil pleased. Very pleased in fact. It would appear that it's faster that an equilivent hardware PC. May be a silly thing but yeah. I'm just a little impresed with Suns' Virtualbox.

Anyone else done the same thing? Are there any issues with this?

Just doing this myself but got to try and get network adapter to be seen by install (think driver issue).

Hi,

I can't seem to get my virtual box VM to work - I get as far as 'Installing RM Comms and Security' then the install fails.
I don't surpose you could let me know what VM settings/drivers/host PC you are using?

Thanks,
James

Problems here too, when mini setup starts it BSODs.

I could only get it to work by building the machine as a Vista client (XP BSOD)...

Do you have to enable that an rebuild or just reboot?

I only only boot into Windows PE if its enabled so it may not apply to you.
All the same give it a go and do a compleate rebuild.

When i made my machine i built it using vista as the Windows PE that CC4 uses is VISTA and uses vista drivers. Once it's finished and trys to reboot it'sself you need to shut it down and change that to xp. that should work. I also made a clean location called VM's within my main site and this is where i put all my VM's. My boss also had issues so i'll try building another VM next week and see if i have just fluked the correct settings first time.
