Not detecting Virtualbox 6.x? #22

Closed AlexanderBarnt closed 3 years ago

AlexanderBarnt commented 3 years ago

i am using VirtualKd Redux 2020.4 and it seems not to work with Virtualbox, it does not show the virtual machines in the list. i am using VirtualBox 6.1.16, any idea? thanks

I have not been maintaining the Virtualbox side of VirtualKD-Redux. Instead, all the work has been for VMware Workstation Pro. I briefly tried out Virtualbox a few months ago and determined that it needs a bit of work.

I don't have a timeline yet as to if / when I'll fix it for VirtualBox. In the meantime, have you tried VirtualKD 3.0 to see if that works?

AlexanderBarnt commented 3 years ago

VIrtualKD 3.0 does not work either. i hope there it will be fixed if possible.

btw, when trying to use the tool VirtualBoxIntegration.exe and push the "Enable" button, i get: https://i.ibb.co/wcHSS4K/Untitled.png

Having exactly same issue as @AlexanderBarnt. When I try VirtualBoxIntegration.exe to enable my VM, it shows the same exception.

Would be nice to get VirtualBox support back again as it is a free hypervisor and there are probably many people using it.

Cheers.

I was able to throw together some code and got it working with the latest version of VirtualBox (6.1.16). I will continue working on it next weekend.

There appears to be an issue of needing a signed kdclient DLL to be loaded in the VirtualBox process. I don't have a good workaround for this yet that I'd be comfortable with releasing.

Support for the latest version of VirtualBox has been added to 2020.5. Take a look at the updated tutorial here.

If there is an issue, you can open up a new ticket or comment on this one.
