Install the KB2758857 update by simply launching the downloaded "" file.
So, you will need to download and install the new KB2758857 update for Windows 7 : Update 2020 : since the writing of this tutorial, the KB2533623 update for Windows 7 has been replaced with another update called : KB2758857.Īnd the 2 official download links for the old KB2533623 update are dead.
To update this dll correctly, go to the " Microsoft Security Advisory: Insecure library loading could allow remote code execution" page of the Microsoft site.Īs you can see on this page, you need the update "KB2533623" for Windows 7. This error is due to the fact that Intel uses new secure features implemented by Microsoft in this dll which belongs to the core (kernel) of Windows. The procedure entry point SetDefaultDllDirectories could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNE元2.dll If Windows 7 is not up to date (even if SP 1 is installed), you may receive an error : Once the driver is downloaded in the guest OS, unzip the downloaded file and run the "Setup.exe" file. In the guest OS, Windows will tell you that the device driver could not be installed for the USB bus controller. You will arrive on the " Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for Intel® 8/9/100 Series and Intel® C220/C610 Chipset Family" page of the Intel Download Center. However, the procedure for installing the required driver remains the same. Update : since version 15.5.6 of VMware Workstation, you can use a USB 3.1 controller instead of USB 3.0. Once you have selected "USB 3.0", a message will appear with a link that will redirect you to the Intel site : To do this, go to the settings of your Windows 7 virtual machine, click on "USB Controller" and select "USB compatibility: USB 3.0". Obviously with the installation of the appropriate driver in the guest OS. Nevertheless, once Windows 7 is installed, it's possible to benefit from USB 3.0 in the guest OS.
It's for this reason that the Windows 7 installation is not possible by default from a USB 3.0 key.
In the device manager, this "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller" will appear with a yellow icon as there is no driver for this device. In the Windows 7 guest operating system, you will see that Windows couldn't automatically install the driver for the used USB bus controller since it doesn't support it by default. To use an USB 3.0 controller in a VirtualBox virtual machine under Windows 7, you must first go to the USB section of your virtual machine's settings. This is visible in the device manager in your virtual machine running Windows 7. In short, because Windows 7 supports USB 2.0 by default and not USB 3.0, VirtualBox defaults to an USB 2.0 controller when you create a virtual machine to install Windows 7. This is also why the installation of Windows 7 from an USB 3.0 key requires a little manipulation beforehand. As you may know, Windows 7 doesn't support USB 3.0 by default.
