share usb on VPC 2007 sp1

Hy guys,

it's possible share usb port between the guest and the host machine ? I
need to run a software on my vm that connect to a external appliance across
a host usb port.

It's possible ?

Thanks in advance.

Not with VPC 2007. It doesn't support USB.

No, that doesn't support USB either.

VPC7 can use USB< but you have to be running Windows 7 on the host.

Otherwise you're going to have to go with something like VMWare or
VirtualBox.

If the USB device is registered as a COM port on the host, then you
can just go into the settings of the guest and navigate to the COM1 or
COM2 setting. Now you can define which host COM port to pass through
to your guest. You can select from all registered ports on the host.

I have tested this a couple of years back with such serial ports and
it works.

Some USB-to-Ethernet/Serial programs require the USBD.SYS to operate
correctly, and this file is not installed by XP when a VPC guest. If so -
just copy USBD.SYS to the 'system32/drivers' directory.
