Re: build VBox 7.0.4
You're apparently building Virtualbox 7.0.4 on a Windows host. Seems to be a Windows Hosts forum question, not Windows Guests. Moving....
The pre-built installer for Windows says that VC++ 2019 Runtime needs to be installed first. Maybe you need it too?

Re: build VBox 7.0.4
When this problem has come up before, the 32-bit version of software has been installed. VirtualBox 7.0.4 requires the 64-bit version. Check that you have the 64-bit version.

Re: build VBox 7.0.4
No, I don't think it's a configuration issue, I looked up the path in VS2019 and the 64-bit directory is x64, but in the VirtualBox scripts it's all amd64, so I suspect it's a script issue.BillG wrote:When this problem has come up before, the 32-bit version of software has been installed.
