There is a fix on this forum somewhere for making WinOLS run on a VMWare VM. If like me you have become very sick of VMWare I have found a working solution for VirtualBox!

1: Do NOT install VirtualBox Additions!!!!

2: With the Virtual PC switched off run the following commands:
WHERE:
"Windows 7 x64" is the name of your Virtual PC

I would also recommend you make the UUID line unique.

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "Windows 7 x64" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSVendor" "LENOVO"
VBoxManage setextradata "Windows 7 x64" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiBIOSVersion" "1.0.3"

Hello, how ro run a command line in Virtual Box to run these commands?

Thank you! :)

Hello, I suppose that this could help many users,

Type CMD on Windows search, execute it and go to c:\ (using cd.. command as needed usually 2 times), then "cd program files", again "cd oracle" and "cd virtualbox"

route is like this C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>

There you can execute that command list, the "vboxmanage" file is there. :D
