Vista - Unable to install Virtual Guest Services on virtual machine

12-08-2008

I've tried this every way I can figure out to, yet I get the same end result:

Error (13233)
Unable to install Virtual Guest Services on virtual machine Vista. The
Hyper-V Integration Services setup exited with error code 60001.

Recommended Action
For more information, refer to the Hyper-V documentation for virtual machine
integration services at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=118036 and
then try the operation again.

The link doesn't go anywhere helpful. This happens on all of my converted
VMware machines. It also happens on all new machines I have created from
scratch. I've also tried using the "pre-built" virtual disks that are created
when SCVMM is installed and again get the same error.

Strange thing is, this seemed to not be an issue with the first VM's that
were converted, and nothing was changed on the Hyper-V host server.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would make sure the VMware tools were not installed before trying to
install Virtual Guest Services.

They were installed on the machines that DID convert easily, and as I said,
even brand new disks can't install the tools - that's the biggest problem. I
could re-create the environments from scratch, but can't get the tools in.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Are the VMs involved all at the SP1 level? If not, they should be.

Hi Charlie,
SP1 level of what? This is on any OS I've tried, Vista, Win 2003 Server,
XPSP2/3 - just creating a blank disc gives an error that the tools can't be
installed.

I just tried creating a new machine again from scratch. Step 1.6 "Install VM
Components" failed - red circle with an X.

Sorry, your original one was a vista machine, and I "assumed" Hyper-V. Bad
assumption on my part, and I can't really help with Virtual Server. I
honestly haven't run it in the last year - I've been pure Hyper-V for at
least that long.

You can't install the integration components until after you've got
the OS installed and running.
