[vbox-dev] "Failed to create a session" after building OSE 3.2.6 on WindowsXP SP3

[Feng, Haitao]

Hi,

I modified comregister.cmd a little, from
    regsvr32 /s /u VBoxC.dll
    regsvr32 /s VBoxC.dll
to 
    regsvr32 /s /u .\VBoxC.dll
    regsvr32 /s .\VBoxC.dll

and now VirtualBox works. Previously the coms are not registered and "regsvr32
VBoxC.dll" reports nothing. Thank you very much for your information.

Could I know your plan to run mutter with GL acceleration in VirtualBox? GNOME 3
is coming with mutter as the default window manager.
