Tool cannot work on Win7 os. #1

Closed rtfingc closed 4 years ago

rtfingc commented 4 years ago

Hello. Forgive for my poor English. I update VMware to 15.5.0 build-14665864 and I found virtualkd 3.0 down. VirtualKD-Redux can work on Win10 os. But it cannot work on Win7 os. And I have no idea how to fix it.

@rtfingc: Thanks. I will see if I can try to reproduce the issue.

Questions:

  1. Windows 7 was running in the virtual machine or on the host?
  2. Was it the 32 or 64 bit version of Windows 7?
  3. Did it have service pack 1 installed?
  4. Which language version was it?

  1. host: win10 1903 ; win7 virtual machine (vmware)
  2. I had tried x86 and x64 version msdn -> cn_windows_7_enterprise_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677685.iso msdn -> cn_windows_7_enterprise_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677716.iso
  3. Language is Chinese( maybe I can try English version?)

When I choose virulkd boot option, It always redirect to the recovery process.

I briefly tried one of the Windows 7 evaluation VM images from Microsoft's site and it worked flawlessly: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

I'll do some research and look through the code to see if I can figure out why it would fail in your circumstance. Thanks.

@rtfingc: Can you try again with a fresh VM and 2019.3?

It is not work yet (T . T). I had also try IE8-win7-vmware from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ and still the same problem. May be there is something wrong with my environment setup.

Are you sure that you're pressing F8 at boot and selecting "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"? I am able to reproduce your issue in Windows 7 if i do not select that option. In Windows 7 it is second from the bottom. This is a different spot than Windows 10.

Oh，it work. It is no need to press F8 in win7 before. I forgot this point :(. Thanks a lot for your help!!

That's correct. The kdcom binary is not signed in Redux which is why it's required. Good to hear it's working, thanks.
