Update 2020 : since the writing of this tutorial, the KB2533623 update for Windows 7 has been replaced with another update called : KB2758857.Īnd the 2 official download links for the old KB2533623 update are dead.
To update this dll correctly, go to the " Microsoft Security Advisory: Insecure library loading could allow remote code execution" page of the Microsoft site.Īs you can see on this page, you need the update "KB2533623" for Windows 7. This error is due to the fact that Intel uses new secure features implemented by Microsoft in this dll which belongs to the core (kernel) of Windows. The procedure entry point SetDefaultDllDirectories could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNE元2.dll If Windows 7 is not up to date (even if SP 1 is installed), you may receive an error :
Once the driver is downloaded in the guest OS, unzip the downloaded file and run the "Setup.exe" file. In the guest OS, Windows will tell you that the device driver could not be installed for the USB bus controller. You will arrive on the " Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for Intel® 8/9/100 Series and Intel® C220/C610 Chipset Family" page of the Intel Download Center. However, the procedure for installing the required driver remains the same. Update : since version 15.5.6 of VMware Workstation, you can use a USB 3.1 controller instead of USB 3.0. Once you have selected "USB 3.0", a message will appear with a link that will redirect you to the Intel site : To do this, go to the settings of your Windows 7 virtual machine, click on "USB Controller" and select "USB compatibility: USB 3.0". Obviously with the installation of the appropriate driver in the guest OS. Nevertheless, once Windows 7 is installed, it's possible to benefit from USB 3.0 in the guest OS. Standard Universal PCI to USB Host Controller.Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller.To avoid this problem, VMware Workstation virtualizes by default an USB 2.0 controller when you want to virtualize Windows 7.īy default, if you open the device manager in a VMware virtual machine with Windows 7 as guest, you will see this : It's for this reason that the Windows 7 installation is not possible by default from a USB 3.0 key. The application of ASM3241 includes Motherboard, Desktop PC, Notebooks, Workstations, Servers, Add-in cards, PCI Express based embedded platform.As you probably know, USB 3.0 is not supported natively by Windows 7.
It uses advance process with low voltage supply, following standard PCI Express/USB Link power management and advance chip power management to reduce total power consumption efficiently under idle/standby state.ĪSM3241 integrates ASMedia self-designed PCI Express/SuperSpeed USB/USB2.0 PHY, supporting the proprietary driver for Windows 7 and in box driver for Windows 8.0, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and various Linux kernels.
