Failed to open session

Post by clayer »

I've come across this unusual error that I can't seem to get around. I'm using the latest version (6.1.18), not using the extension pack. I've reinstalled a couple of times, and restarted my computer twice.

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine win10.

Failed to load R0 module C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox/VMMR0.r0: Signature #2/3: Expected at least 2 valid paths, not 1.: \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SUP_VP_UNEXPECTED_VALID_PATH_COUNT).

Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SUP_VP_UNEXPECTED_VALID_PATH_COUNT).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

I don't know how to fix this.

Note: I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium.

Virtualbox 6.1.x is no longer supported on Windows 7 host PCs. This error is common for Windows 7 users trying to run 6.1.anything. (7 is sill OK inside the VM, just not on the host.)

Drop back to 5.2.44 https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_5_2
