USB controller initialization failed

[zair]

We have Deployed R70 Media Encryption clients on all desktop and laptops.

R70 Media Encryption is a USB monitoring software that is installed in windows XP PC. Above that i have installed VM ware :

Version Details:

VMware Workstation ACE Edition

Version : 6.0.4 build -93057

The User is binded with full access profile for Media Encryption Clients and is able to access all USB ports.

When a guest OS is booted with VMware..It shows an ERROR:

"USB controller initialization failed. A supported host USB driver was not found. If you have installed USB traffic monitoring software on the host system, please remove it"

"Virtual USB controller has been disconnected"

Usb is not detected in VMware.

Any help is always appreciated.

Cheers and thanks

The error-message has a hint to the solution.

Either remove your USB monitoring software or use VMs without USB

The USB monitring tool has to be installed and the END USER normally uses a "License manager doggle" to access the applicaltion in VM .The License manager donggle has invisible License keys to be used with automation applications.

looking forward for a solution..

Thanks !!
