Any working alternatives?

As this project seems to be abandoned and outdated, do you know if there is any similar project which is being maintained and up-to-date?

I found a way to get Portable Virtualbox to run the latest update.
You first need to make sure you have a 64-bit Operating System

1. Download the Portable Virtualbox installation file
2. Install Portable Virtualbox - download the installation files and check the box: Extract the files for a 64-bit Operating System, then click "OK".
3. After the extraction is complete, install the official VirtualBox by clicking here
4. Copy the official Virtualbox installation files, then paste them into the 64-bit installation of Portable Virtualbox.
   Note> If Windows says that there are multiple files with the same name, choose to replace the files in the destination
5. After that, you can open Portable Virtualbox and you are done!

Is it trustworthy? I dunno why but it looks a bit suspicious to me.

in what way? it's only register necessary services from actual VB location... that's all

I would like to know the details of the way of how portability works for it.
So it only registers VB services at startup and removes them at shutdown?

and why not test it by yourself? ... its not radioactive :D
and no it is not automatic, ...thru GUI buttons manually register or unregister services (simple windows commands)

correct ;) :) !

The thing is: VBOX.ME has source code available on GitHub so you can look yourself how it's built from the ground up. When it comes to GREENVBOX there is no source code available so we don't really know what it does.

... it simply register VB services with basic windows command like: (from log)

> %SystemRoot%\System32\regsvr32.exe /s VBoxProxyStub.dll
> %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe /s x86\VBoxProxyStub-x86.dll
> %SystemRoot%\System32\regsvr32.exe /s VBoxC.dll
> %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe /s x86\VBoxClient-x86.dll

but if you're "only 100% opensource way" then I guess it's not enough ;)

That's it? How about portability of settings and numerous registry entries that VirtualBox creates/uses?

Have anyone found anything alternative other then the chinese green box by now ? Not super keen on gambling with the xi-variant on my machine

[p060477]

up to now no...i'll be very interested too... ;)

looked around , seems like nowdays there is windows sandbox , didn't have the Pro ver of win , so i ended up getting vmware , its free for personal use ( the software is 888 MB after installation )
