Unable to run Urho3D samples in Windows 7 on VirtualBox

djmig

Hi,
Been trying to run samples from Urho3D-1.6-Windows-STATIC-3D11, which was downloaded from SourceForge, with no success.
I am running Windows 7 32-bit (with Direct3D11 enabled) on top of VitualBox hosted on Mac.
Below is a screenshot of error log and Direct3D status on dxdiag.

Your help to resolve this problem is very much appreciated.

Regards,
Don.

Only to shed some light,
DXGI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED = 0x887A0004
"The requested functionality is not supported by the device or the driver."

Thank you carnalis. Yes, somehow Direct3D11 was not supported. I was able to run examples in Urho3D-1.6-Windows-STATIC.
Is Urho3D-1.6-Windows-STATIC compiled with OpenGL support?

Thank you again for the pointer,
Don.

I am not sure if that version is for GL… Maybe it corresponds to one here?
urho3d.github.io/latest-news.html

Apologies if I miss something; I usually build from source.

djmig

Yes, those Windows binaries corresponds to urho3d.github.io/latest-news.html
Later I may build Urho3d from source for the hosted Windows 7, as I did for the Mac. I was testing out the possibilities of developing a smallish game for Windows within VirtualBox.

Thanks again for your help.
Don.
