Hi,

Anyone done this? Any problems/undocumented "features"/things to watch for?

Best regards,
Astro.

Thanks for the link!

Can't even get off first base.  :(

Apparently it is possible to debug Windows in VirtualBox VM but I'll be damned if I can get WinDbg and the VM to talk.  ::)  :boohoo:  :dazzled:

Best regards,
Astro.

OK - I cheated and tweaked suspected lines until it worked.

Strange that it ran fine as a stand-alone .exe but crashed when used elsewhere.

Best regards,
Astro.
