    [SOLVED] Can you update Windows in VirtualBox?

    Hello my Linux Friends,

    I installed Sun VirtualBox on Ubuntu and ran Windows XP in it. After I did Windows Update on it, I could no longer use VirtualBox. My xml was corrupted, and only contain an error. Which lead me to my question, Can you update Windows in VirtualBox?

    Thank you all

    HI!

    Yes. I run XP in Virtual Box in my Fedora and Mint. Both are able to get updates.
