[?+]: PC USB Adapter + Windows virtual PC

Post by mace »

Hello, I try to connect the USB PC adapter to Windows wirtual PC but adapter not work. My host OS is WIN 7 Prof and virtual OS is WIN XP SP3.
I install the driver into WIN 7 system then I connect the USB device into virtual machine and then I install driver for adapter in WIN XP, restart, but in device manager there is an exclamation in "USB virtualization bus driver". I change the path in PG/PC interface in Simatic Manager STEP7-PC Adapter(Auto), but nothing...
Have anybody experience with USB adapter and virtual mode?
Thank for advice.

Yesterday, faced with this same problem - has decided to:
1. Install the driver on the PC USB adapter - setup.exe to run in compatibility mode for XP (SP3) - this is in the properties of setup.exe on the Compatibility tab.
2. After installing the adapter it see in W7 properly established.
3. I use VM Player 3.1.4. After that I connected the adapter to the virtual machine and it worked.

1.Требуется установить драйвер на PC USB adapter. Под ХР он ставился без проблем, в 7ке не вышло так просто. Нашел на форумах подсказку - setup.exe запускать в режиме совместимости с ХР( SP3) - это в свойствах setup.exe на вкладке совместимость.
2.После установки адаптер увидился в 7ке и нормально встал.
3.Я использую VM Player 3.1.4. После этого я подключил адаптер к виртуалке и все заработало.

No need to install the driver on win 7, your virtual xp find off in settings tab and click USB give your pc usb adapter connected this will give him appear click the tab to be enabled and saves the settings and disconnect the pc usb adapter, start your virtual XP, install your USB adapter driver pc and finally connect your USB adapter pc on the pc and the PLC with this installed the driver in your virtual xp.

No es necesario instalar el driver en win 7, con tu xp virtual apagado en configuracion encontraras la pestaña de USB dale clic y con tu pc adapter usb conectado este te aparecera dale clic en la pestaña para que se habilite y guarda la configuracion y desconecta el pc adapter usb, arranca tu xp virtual, instala tu driver del pc adapter USB y por ultimo conecta tu pc adapter USB en la pc y en el PLC con esto se instalara el driver en tu xp virtual.
