  4. Had the same issue today on Windows 10, and played around a bit with older version, but finally managed to run Simware 7.1.59 on Windows 10 with latest version of Oracle VirtualBox (5.0.12x)
    system var:
    HCL_INSTALL_PATH = C:\Program Files (x86)\HCL
    VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH = C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\

    The final trick was to let both VirtualBox and HCL to always run as administrator.

  5. Is it possible to build a IRF stack with the 5820 switches?
    This feature doesn't seem to work in the HCL cloud lab.

    Thx
