After installing VirtualBox 4.1.8r75467 on a Windows 7 64 bit host, the bridge adapter doesn't appear to have been installed. It doesn't show in device manager, and in VB, changing Settings > Network > Attached To to Bridged Adaptor shows only Not Selected in the Name dropdown. No error message during install, and yes I did confirm during the installation.
Things I've tried:
- Using installer to repair the install
- Complete uninstall and reinstall
- Reinstall in safe mode
- Reinstall with UAC and anti-virus (Kaspersky) disabled
- As recommended in an older issue here, tried to delete this file, but was denied access, even in safe mode: %SystemRoot%\System32\DriverStore\INFCACHE.1
This is a blocking issue, and I'm out of things to try. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
You don't need to set
MaxNumFilters
in Windows 8, as the limit is now automatic. I think the most important step above is to remove your external interface from any Microsoft Bridge that it might be part of. Otherwise it won't even be listed as an option for a Bridged Adaptor in VirtualBox. – qris – 2015-05-28T16:10:16.0471Do you mind being more specific besides "Network Bridge" on the 6th step. I can't seem to to follow your steps. – William – 2015-11-11T19:17:53.243
