I'm trying to get the famous virtual machines of Microsoft up and running. More specifically those with IE11 on them (so that's the Win7, Win8.1 and Win10 version).
From what I can read on the web this should be a cakewalk. Currently all of them crash during start up (taking a varying amount of time).
PC setup :
- Ubuntu 14.04 (kernel 3.19.0-30-generic)
- Virtualbox (5.0.10r104061): had some issues to get it up & running (Fixed by following: VirtualBox 5.0 installation has broken VirtualBox packages on Kubuntu 15.04)
Virtualbox actions:
- I followed IE 7/8/9/10/11 Virtual machines from Microsoft to get the necessary files.
- To get a VM running I went from New (this drops you in "Create Virtual Machine") and followed the various steps. In step 3 I selected the option to "Use an existing virtual hard disk file" and pointed it to the vmdk file I had gotten earlier.
There are various "error" entries in the VBox logs, but Google isn't helping me to find out what is going wrong / how to fix it:
Hardware acceleration is enabled (following pcapademic's answer for How to determine if CPU VT extensions are enabled in bios?.
I'm certain that I haven't checked everything, but due to having zero experience with using Virtualbox, I have no idea what the next logical step is. A helpful pointer would be appreciated.

We still have an issues remaining for the Win10 VM:
Additional issue on Win10 VM:
- Encountered an 0xc0000605 on the Win10 machine
- Solution: this is related to the time change that you need to do. If I set my time on the Host machine between 01/04/2015 and 15/04/2015 then everything is fine.
