Launcher version 6.4.7

=> New hybrid mode (backport of LinuxLive Pack)
Will run regular VirtualBox instead of portable one if found.

I just saw this for the 6.4.7, when I was about to complain, that instead of creating a portable Version the launcher starts my installed VBox. Would be nice to be able to select, what to to on startup (or through a var in the settings, whatever works better).

Besides that vbox keeps crashing almost every 2nd start and not exiting correctly thereafter, so you have to kill it (-> the launcher) via taskmanager. But as the launcher is not really different to the 6.4.5 or 6.4.6 I'm afraid that's not very suprising.

Englisch ist besser. Kannst du das mit den Abstürzen vllt näher spezifizieren (gern in engl). Das einzige Problem was ich bei mir in regelmäßigen Abständen feststelle, ist dass VB, wenn man es komplett beendet, beim 2. Start den Kernel nicht mehr laden kann. Dann hilft nur noch ein Neustart des Hostsystems(bei mir). Abstürze konnte ich allerdings unter keinem System feststellen.

Die Hybridmode konnte ich bisher nicht testen, da ich keine VBox installiert hab. Einen Switch einzubauen sollte aber sicher kein Problem sein. Vllt übernimmt das sogar slymdesign.

Problems on Windows 7 32 bit:
- bridged networking is not working (hardware network adapter is not recognised in virtual box)
- virtualbox usb adapter reports error in windows hardware manager

These two things work correctly in starter version 6.4.5 and VirtualBox version 4.0.12. I don't know if you noticed that driver for network bridged adapter has changed in VirtualBox version 4.1.0, it uses different files than previous versions and maybe this causes problems.

Regarding second start of VirtualBox and "Core" error message, this was never resolved in any version of VirtualBox, and is not so important.

New version of Virtual Box (4.1.4) has arrived, and also new version of Virtual Box Starter. Bridged networking is still not working. So I took 1-2 hours to check in starter source files if this problem could be resolved. The problem was exactly as expected, only the names of files where changed. VBoxNetFlt_m.inf changed to VBoxNetFltM.inf, VBoxNetFltNotify.dll to VBoxNetFltNobj.dll. Even in newest starter version for Virtual Box v4.1.4 old file names are used and script is not usable for anything never than Virtual Box 4.0.12.

Bridged networking is working with Virtual Box 4.1.4 and Starter 6.4.5. (hardware network adapter appears in bridged networking dialog and can be selected). In order to get to this, run starter as usual (with networking activated in settings). After that copy snetcfg_x86.exe from tools folder to app32/drivers/network and run following command in terminal from folder with Portable-VirtualBox.exe:

"app32\drivers\network\snetcfg_x86.exe -v -l app32\drivers\network\netflt\VBoxNetFlt.inf -m app32\drivers\network\netflt\VBoxNetFltM.inf -c s -i sun_VBoxNetFlt"

After this copy VBoxNetFltNobj.dll to Windows/System32/Drivers and register it there (regsvr32.exe /S c:\Windows\System32\drivers\VBoxNetFltNobj.dll )

After this hardware network adapter should be visible in bridged networking adapter.

I already made a batch file so I don't have to go to this procedure every time again. Hopefully in next version of Starter this problem will be resolved.

@Risky73
plz check http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23963864/PVB/6.4…-VirtualBox.exe or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23963864/PVB/6.4…tualBox_x64.exe. Dunno if it's working.

atm 4 me, neither 6.4.6, 6.4.7 nor 6.4.8 works with 4.1.4 :/

My language is set to the default value in portable virtual box settings: english.
I have the same issue with Portable-VirtualBox_v4.1.4-Starter_v6.4.5-Win_all.exe.

My OS: Window XP SP3 32bit

I have released a new version of the launcher with v4.1.4 support and all path's from Megachip and others.

Included is:
* Polish translation (first release)
* Fixed German and English translation
* Suggestions from Risky73 about bridged networking
* New hybrid mode that will run regular VirtualBox instead of portable one if found

Unfortunately bridged networking is still not working for me, on Windows 7 64 bit, even with Risky73's fix. Will have to look into it....

After restoring the tools folder (was missing for me) it installs the drivers/services and i'm able to select the interfaces in vb. But looks like no network traffic gone trough.
(Win8-x64, pvb-x64,bridged with wireless)

But WinXP-x64, PVB-x64, bridged with wired works (but on this machine i already had run pvb in former times)

If I upload my old working version of VBoxNetFltNobj.dll (taken from portable virtualbox launcher: v6.4.8.1 and Virtualbox manager: 4.1.4r74291) into windows\system32\VBoxNetFltNobj.dll and Portable-VirtualBox\app64\drivers\network\netflt\VBoxNetFltNobj.dll
Then the bridged networking option works in portable virtualbox - I am able to select it and I see my proper network adapters.

However when I start the virtualbox manager, I first get this error:

"
Failed to access teh USB subsystem.

Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service
(VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The servie might not be installed on the host computer.

details:

Result Code:
E_FAIL (0x00004005)

Callee:

"

I am now able to select the bridged adapter option in networking. But:

then when I start the virtual machine I get this error:

"
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win7.

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-Intel(R) 82576 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

"

I also noticed, that I am able to do this only once. When I restart the portable virtualbox, the bridged adapter option is disabled again.
Portable virtualbox seems to delete the file windows\system32\VBoxNetFltNobj.dll on exit.
If I want to make the option available again, I have to re-upload my old VBoxNetFltNobj.dll in windows\system32\
