Every time you guys make a release, there is a great deal of uncertainty about whether virtualbox will compile or not on both windows x86 and x64. I would love to test/use every single revision on svn, but you guys <font size="4"><u>don't</u></font> respond to any build related questions and the ONLY real support for building virtualbox on windows is from non-oracle people on the forums.<br>
<br>So far, I was never able to simply do "svn update" and build without have to track errors here and there and even modifying MS SDK/WDK. So I simply find a version that works and document some workarounds for things that don't. Then stick with that version until I have some time to deal with compiling the next version of virtualbox.<br>
<br>My company have also been engaged in "talks" with Oracle to get licenses for the ext-pack and maybe get some support, but that seems to be going no where fast.<br><br>So if you really care that people test/use the latest VBOX and Oracle making Money, do the following:<br>
1- Make some decent build instructions that actually work<br>2- For gods sake! get some better sales people!!!!!<br><br>We very well appreciate your hard work, and are willing to pay you for it. And its not my place to tell you what to do, but I believe a lot people share my trouble.<br>

I applied the changes from <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/37752" target="_blank">http://www.virtualbox.org/<u></u>changeset/37752</a><br>
and now it works, thanks!<br>

This makes no sense to me... applying a tiny isolated fix and still going on without fixing the large number of much more severe ones we addressed later. What's preventing you from going to 4.0.12?<br>

Is there a special compile-config option that I have to enable<br>
inorder<br>
to get USB 2.0 working? vboxmange list extpacks shows that my<br>
extension<br>
pack is installed and usable, and I'm not getting any runtime<br>
errors or<br>
even warnings.<br>
<br>
I've been trouble shooting this problem for two days now and I only<br>
managed to isolate the problem to VBoxC.dll. The only way I was<br>
able to<br>
get USB 2.0 to work is by replacing my VBoxC.dll with the one<br>
packaged<br>
with the virtualbox install.<br>
<br>
Here is my info:<br>
VirtualBox 4.0.4 -- Self Compiled<br>
Windows 7 x64<br>
<br>
<br>
Early VirtualBox 4.0 source code had a bug where a self-compiled<br>
package would not be able to enable USB 2.0.<br>
<br>
I suspect this is what happens here - 4.0.4 is quite old and has<br>
this bug. Try 4.0.12.<br>

No, HGCM is not required for USB2.0.<br>
<br>
You get the HGCM error, because the services (SharedFolders,<br>
GuestProperties) were not loaded.<br>
But this does not affect USB 2.0 at all.<br>

Hi all,<br>
Is the HGCM service required in order for USB 2.0 to work?<br>
<br>
For some reason USB 2.0 doesn't work with my build and<br>
the only<br>
error messages that I see in the machine log is the<br>
following:<br>
00:09:31.144 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_UNEXPECTED (0x8000ffff)<br>
aIID={515e8e8d-f932-4d8e-9f32-<u></u>____79a52aead882}<br>
aComponent={Console} aText={The service call failed with the<br>
error VERR_HGCM_SERVICE_NOT_FOUND}, preserve=false<br>
Attached is the complete log.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
