Re: Can't install it currently; need help.
It's looking for the previous installer in order to uninstall VirtualBox 6.1.30 first, but it looks like you deleted it. Or did you maybe run the previous installer inside the browser without downloading it first?
I think it works better if you download installers. I keep a folder "Installed Software" on my PC containing the latest installers for all software on my PC.
To recover you'll need to download the VirtualBox 6.1.30 installer, extract the MSI ("VirtualBox-6.1.30-148432-Win.exe -extract"), then copy the MSI to the location indicated in your error message.
Remember to store the 6.1.32 installer in a permanent folder (not a root folder) before running it, and leave it there. You can delete it after you successfully install the next VirtualBox version.

I have no idea why.mpack wrote:It's looking for the previous installer in order to uninstall VirtualBox 6.1.30 first, but it looks like you deleted it.

If it still complains about a missing MSI file then you didn't put the MSI where it needs to be. Can you post a screenshot showing the MSI file in the folder mentioned in the error message?Tarrabyte wrote: Yeah I did that and it still gives me the same exact thing. I have no idea why.
