VirtualBox 5.0 not working on windows server core

[zarzarel]

Hello,

VirtualBox version 5.0 does not run on Windows server core, failing with VERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND when starting VBoxHeadless.exe. The faulting module is VBoxDD.dll which tries to import dsound.dll which is not available on Windows Server Core installations. Providing a dsound.dll from a full windows installation fails from hardening checks (dsound.dll is not signed). Changing sound driver to none or null has no effect.

Thanks for the report. Could you check if the latest Windows test build (>= 102660) fixes your problem?

Yes, the problem is fixed, VBoxHeadless runs again :)

Thanks.

Fix is part of VBox 5.0.6.
