title: Unable to connect WIA Scanner over virtual machine
body: <p>I have following vb code to connect scanner via WIA in a Windows form application.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Function Connect() As Device
      Dim WiaDev As Device = Nothing
      Dim manager As New DeviceManager()
      Try
          For Each info As DeviceInfo In manager.DeviceInfos
              If info.DeviceID = DeviceID Then
                  WiaDev = info.Connect()
                  Return WiaDev
              End If
          Next
          Throw New Exception(ex.Message)
      End Try
  End Function
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works fine in local. But in virtual machine it throws following exception while executing the line info.Connect(). Exception =>
  "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component". It will be nice if anybody suggest some solution. Thanks :)</p>
