Hi

I am working with an image of Windows 10 IoT Core 17134, and in VirtualBox I setup the network in bridge mode, but the vm didnt get a ip. Does anyone have an idea?

Tks

hi Janaina

i have splitted your question from the previous thread as it was unrelated to the existing topic

in VirtualBox I setup the network in bridge mode, but the vm didnt get a ip

please can you be more specific what you mean with "the vm didn't get a ip" ?

you try to install Windows 10 IoT Core as VM inside VirtualBox or something different ?

Hi Janaina,

Microsoft does not support your scenario but there are some folks that have gotten it to work like https://www.newventuresoftware.com/blog/running-windows-10-iot-core-in-a-virtual-machine

Note that they are using x86 images.  If you are attempting to virtualize and ARM image, you will need to make sure your VM is set to that architecture.

Hi, thank you for the support.

The problem is that I'm trying to use a x64 image and when I config the network adapter to Bridged Adapter, the image didnt get an IP address when started.

There is anything else config that i should to do?

Hi Andre,

Thanks for splitted the question.

Yes, i installed an Windows 10 IoT Core as VM inside VirtualBox, i configured the adapter network to bridged adapter, but when i started the VM it didnt get an IP Address.

I'm using a Windows 10 IoT Core x64 for Minnowboard.

I need to get network because I'm trying to run and Appx in this VM using the Windows IoT Core Dashboard.

I already try use the Windows 10 IoT Core x86 for Minnowboard, but the Appx didnt run in this architecture.

like IoTGirl already mentioned Windows 10 IoT Core is not intended/designated to run as VM and its expected to have driver issues with important parts like networking and others

to run in a VM you need to use Windows 10 or Windows 10 IoT Enterprise

I already try use the Windows 10 IoT Core x86 for Minnowboard, but the Appx didnt run in this architecture.

please can you be more specific what you mean ?

Windows 10 IoT Core is a UWP centric OS and UWP apps are its primary app type

Hi Janaina,

There are a few other posters that have more steps like https://mmateev.wordpress.com/2017/02/05/how-to-simulate-iot-gateway-using-vmware-workstation/

Note that they are using the 32 bit build and not the 64.  Maybe you should attempt that first?

Hi there,

like IoTGirl already mentioned Windows 10 IoT Core is not intended/designated to run as VM and its expected to have driver issues with important parts like networking and others

But using Windows 10 IoT Core x86, the VM and networking configurations works perfectly.

When i said "l already tried use the Windows 10 IoT Core x86 for Minnowboard, but the Appx didnt run in this architecture.", i mean that i have an .msi and using the Convert Desktop App, i converted this .msi to appx, and i've tried run it in VM, but when i tried run my appx on VM using the Device Portal, its returned an error when start deployment.

Error description: A prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied. (0x80073cfd)

I thinking that my .msi converted in appx has some characteristics that is not able to run in Windows 10 IoT Core, but im not sure.

Do you have an idea?

Tks

Hi Janaina,

So the VM is working you are just not able to deploy an application to it?  I am not familiar with converting an MSI to an Appx but you could try just building a simple IoT Core "Hello World" style app and deploy to see if that works.

Frankly, I suspect your MSI hold an application that will not run on IoT Core.
