Hello,
Freshly set up Windows 7, installed virtual box for win xp. After start I get the error code:
Result Code: E_Fail (0x80004005)
Component: Machine Wrap
Interface: IMachine {30073af-5d6b-46e6-aa96-273eac15538a}
I searched the foum and read about issues related to the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. So I installed
from: learn[dot]microsoft[dot]com/de-de/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
this: X64 aka[dot]ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
Permalink für die neueste unterstützte x64-Version. Das X64 Redistributable-Paket enthält arm64- und X64-Binärdateien. Dieses Paket vereinfacht die Installation erforderlicher Visual C++-ARM64-Binärdateien, wenn die X64 Redistributable auf einem ARM64-Gerät installiert ist.
Some other downloads from the same page would not install.
I could not post the contents of the logfile VBoxHardening.log, because the messagte would be too long.
I obviously don't know what I am doing. Could anybody help?
Best, H.

There was a lot more to the error message, including some human-readable text. Regrettably, it's the text we need. Please post the whole message.BoboliSklave wrote:Result Code: E_Fail (0x80004005)

If you're trying to install 7.0, then uninstall it and try the last 6.0 or 5.2 version instead.

Windows 7 is not supported as a host OS to run Virtualbox 6.1 or 7.0.
Zipped logs almost always fit. Please use the forum's Upload Attachment tab.BoboliSklave wrote:I could not post the contents of the logfile VBoxHardening.log, because the messagte would be too long.

Nothing that I could see. Apart from the hint to look into the logfile.scottgus1 wrote:There was a lot more to the error message, including some human-readable text. Regrettably, it's the text we need. Please post the whole message.
This will probably be the reason for the fail! I'm sorry for still chiseling in stone, but I also failed badly all attempts to update for Win10, so I gave up.scottgus1 wrote:If you're trying to install 7.0, then uninstall it and try the last 6.0 or 5.2 version instead.

URLs and attachments are not for freshers like myself. I should be able to post it tomorrow afternoon. I expect the issue to be solved though, thanks to your clue using a suitable version of VirtualBox.scotgus1 wrote:Zipped logs almost always fit. Please use the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
