I have the same problem, just installed it for the first time via |

Same issue here. Using VirtualBox 4.2.8 on OS X 10.7.5. |
|
but you guys don't have a shortcut on the desktop to the ENU installation of IE7 and 8 ? |
|
I think my IE7 and IE8 did not install properly which could be causing this problem. Here's what I got on the IE7 installation (IE8 was the same): Attaching ievms.iso |
|
had the same message, but the link to "Install IE7" and IE8 were on the desktop, a double click and and it was installed without any problem |
|
My virtual box desktop was empty except for My Computer. |
|
Same issue here. Anyone get anywhere with this? |
|
+1, same problem |
|
Same here :( |
|
Just installed IE8 vm on arch linux, but I'm having the same problem: only IE6 available. |
|
same |

after repeating the installation with the main virtualbox application closed it worked. |

I used |
|
I found errors when installing IE8, saying that the At this point it exited, rather than going on to install IE9 and IE10. |
|
There were a few issues with how the VM state was being queried. It shouldn't be as strict with the latest release. Please reopen if you continue to have issues though. Thanks! |
|
I just had the same issue : |
|
same problem |
|
sorry for google translate. I think that the problem occurs during the first login to the windows. it takes some time during which the likely returns to the ready status, but the profile folder will be created have not been able to drive |
|
@Nix-id seems to be right; adding a longer sleep before copying the IE installer seems to help. This may only be necessary on older/slower machines, like mine :) |
|
Got the same problem on Ubuntu 11.10. |
|
Same issue on OSX 10.8.5 using: curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | IEVMS_VERSIONS="8" bash |
|
Same issue here, running on OSX 10.6.8. Terminal output: Starting VM IE8 - WinXP

I am having the same issue as @niksy for both IE7 and IE8 VMs |
|
Hey are any of you guys using Virtualbox >= 4.2.16? I believe this is an issue with how the virtualbox guest additions are named in previous version. |
|
I am using 4.3.0. |
|
Latest one, 4.3.0. |
|
Awwwww ballz. Ok, reopening. Sorry, bros. |
|
Same problem here. Last version of VirtualBox installed (4.3.0) |
|
Same problem here virtualbox 4.3.0 |
|
Update: I retried it several times with virtual box 4.2.8 r83867 (Download link in my last comment). It still does not install correctly. |
|
I'm having the very same problem! Is there anyone that has a solution to this!? |
|
Same issue here: |
|
Today I get the install working (out of the blue) till ie10. In ie10 it hangs at waiting for guest |
|
same issue 4.3.0 |
|
Same error here on IE-7 and V-box 4.1.2 - Will try latest build. |
|
Looks like this isn't an issue... the readme talks about this as the default and suggests running a boot CD that edits the XP registry. There is a link to a boot CD as well. from https://github.com/xdissent/ievms/#control-iso
|
|
Ok So even though i'm getting that error i'm actually able to use the VM w/o running a boot disk on 4.3 VB - I have not thoroughly read through the docs here or how to use this so my apologies for adding to any confusion. |
|
Also having this problem using VB 4.3.0. The installer falls into an infinite loop: |
|
Sorry guys. @cupcakedream, the control ISO is used by the script - no manual intervention necessary. I'm thinking VBoxManage option handling may have changed in 4.3 (which also appears to have already fixed the Mavericks issues). I've gotta clear some disk space and try to get to the bottom of this week. Thanks for your patience, everyone. |
|
Experiencing the same loop as l8on. The box shows up in VBox as "Running" but seems to be uncontrollable while the loop continues in the console. In the VM log, I see this: Hope this helps. Thanks! |
|
+1 Just upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) & VirtualBox 4.3.0, stuck in a loop when trying to install 8,9,10 with the supplied curl command. Tried this: Getting this (full output for posterity's sake, excuse the giant code block): etc forever 😿 |
|
+1 same problem as the last guy and at least another coworker is having the same problem with the IE8 image. |
|
Verified that downgrading to VirtualBox 4.2.18 on OSX fixed the issue for me. |
|
Verified that downgrading to VirtualBox 4.2.18 on OSX fixed the issue for me. Everything installed smoothly from IE 7 - 11 |
|
+1 for me on Mavericks and VB 4.3 too. Can anyone confirm if VB 4.2.18 and Mavericks work? I read that there are issues. |
|
@jrgmartin See this VirtualBox thread, reading thread bottom up... https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8940 There (might) possibly be a solution in there (which others have verified on the thread). |
|
I'm not having the same luck. I downgraded to VirtualBox 4.2.18 on OSX 10.8.3. Only IE 6 and 9 installed without errors. For IE7, 8, and 10, I get the following error message followed by the infinite loop: Even though IE6 and 9 installed cleanly, neither of them will run in VirtualBox. I end up getting that same version mismatch error after it tries to boot: The VMMR0.r0 module version does not match VBoxVMM.dll/so/dylib. If you just upgraded VirtualBox, please terminate all VMs and make sure VBoxNetDHCP is not running. Then try again. If this error persists, try re-installing VirtualBox. (VERR_VMM_R0_VERSION_MISMATCH). I've done several delete and reinstalls to no avail... |
|
following up on this. I had to downgrade to 4.2.10 to get it working on OSX 10.8.3. Also required cleaning out the .ievms folder (seemed to get missed by the uninstall tool) and a reboot because the installer kept barking at me. |
|
Same problem/loop here with VirtualBox 4.3.2 on OS X 10.9: Waiting for IE8 - WinXP to be available for guestcontrol... Seems that VirtualBox >= 4.3 has an issue with empty password: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch14.html "Also, to use accounts without or with an empty password, the guest's group policy must be changed. To do so, open the group policy editor on the command line by typing gpedit.msc, open the key Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options and change the value of Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only to Disabled." |

I was hopeful, but, unfortunately, there's a different infinite loop that occurs: |
|
Hi... I was able to get VBox 4.2.18 on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) running everything properly (IE6 - IE8 on WinXP and IE9 - IE11 on Win7). I don't think this is ievms issue. It seems a vbox issue to me but could be wrong. In your message above, you are seeing this "If you just upgraded VirtualBox, please terminate all VMs and make sure VBoxNetDHCP is not running" That seems the key. It is possible (and quite likely) you have another version of VBox processes running in the background. See this thread, reading bottom up...https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8940 And this blog post linked to in the thread: http://jarneil.wordpress.com/2013/10/24/vritualbox-4-30-on-os-x-10-9-mavericks/ It comes down to old vbox processes running in the background during another vbox install. These other processes need to be cleaned up. And Vbox reinstalled. Don't just drag Vbox to trash and delete. It won't actually remove everything vbox related on your machine. So...need to (re)install 4.2.18...
(One note about IE11 on Win7...there are confirmed issues there: #181 -fd |

Hello; @findesk thanks much for the suggestion. It turns out that, indeed, Virtual Box had not been completely uninstalled. Upon running the uninstall, I got: Sure enough, the KEXT wasn't able to be unloaded: After restarting the computer, there were no more KEXTs loaded or any processes running. I was able to successfully run an uninstall: I followed the rest of your instructions for removal, did a reinstall of 4.2.18... and a little: Seems to have worked splendidly. I also ran into issues with IE 11 but was able to get it up and running. Thanks much. And @jrgmartin, that's a confirmation that 4.2.18 + Mavericks works fine. Cheers! |

Virtualbox 4.3 doesn't allow empty passwords for guest control (required by XP vms). I believe this is an oversight and have filed a bug report with them: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12371 =( |
|
Virtualbox 4.3.4 is out, which allows empty passwords again. However, I've just updated ievms to actually create a password ( |

Perhaps you might want to update the README.md with the new password information for people who don't know yet? |
