Windows Server 2012 R2 on VirtualBox – Error 0x000000C4

Vardhan asked this question in a comment:
I have tried Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview on VirtualBox but fell over with 0x000000C4 error. Is there any remedy for this?
- Create MSI Automatically
- Convert EXE to MSI
- Customize Existing Installations
- Build MSI for Remote Installation
I got the same error message. It doesn’t matter if you install from the ISO or the VHD. You always get:
Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error code: 0x000000C4
Parameters:

0x0000000000000000The solution to the problem is this command:
1"c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" setextradata [ vmname ] VBoxInternal / CPUM / CMPXCHG16B 1You have to replace vname with the name of your Virtual Machine which you can find in the VirtualBox interface or with this command:
1"c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" list vmsDon’t forget to set the VM name in quotes if it contains blanks.
The command enables the CPU instruction CMPXCHG16B. More info here.
I tried it with the VHD of Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview and it with the ISO.
