The install actually finishes, but after rebooting into the new Win8 guest, I can create a new user account/password, but then the "Preparing your desktop settings" phase stops after about 30 seconds with a "problem encountered: memory management error". Have you or Alexey tried the 64-bit Win8 install? I'm running vbox 4.1.2 on gentoo linux and I have Win7 working fine. _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
