Ok, I've just noticed that there was already a thread on this topic earlier this month (I joined the dev list later, so I did not see this mail). The problem is that I am using 32 bit python on 64bit Win7. With 64bit Python the problem disappears. So currently there is no way to connect to 64 bit VBox from a 32 bit app (to get the console)? and what if I connect to a 32 bit VBox (on 32bit Win) from a 32 bit app, is this supposed to work?
Thanks, Mikhail. 2014-07-30 17:23 GMT+02:00 Mikhail Kovalev <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > I am trying to use Python API bindings on Windows to control virtualbox.
