Re: v6.1.37 Test Build 152627 - Fails to Install
Since Test Builds are supposed to be working and supported (they say "we accept bug reports against them")
... I guess I should create an official ticket for this issue, right?

Re: v6.1.37 Test Build 152627 - Fails to Install
Have just attempted installation of 6.1.x revision 152676 on:
- Windows 10 19044.1826 (21H2)
- Windows 11 22000.832 (current build as of 01 Aug 2022)
- Windows 11 22621/2.436 (22H2 Beta - insider build)
Confirming attempts all resulted in the same failed installation message and confirmation that no changes had been made, followed by a second 'fatal error' pop-up message, but no additional diagnostic info.
6.1.36 continues working with no problems.

Yes it's definitely an Oracle problem not a Windows problem.multiOS wrote:Have just attempted installation of 6.1.x revision 152676 on:

Confirming both attempts resulted and the same failed installation message and confirmation that no changes had been made, followed by a second 'fatal error' pop-up message, but no additional diagnostic info.
6.1.36 continues working with no problems.

SO that's now three confirmed cases with the same issue, I'm surprised it's not more than that.multiOS wrote:Agreed, I also experience same installation failure with Test Build (VirtualBox-6.1.37-152741-Win)

@Jacob Klein
As your Bugtracker Ticket does not, so far, contain any acknowledgement/response; and if you're keen to follow up the issue to ensure the Devs are aware of the issue, I suspect the only additional option left maybe to try using the VirtualBox Users IRC facility https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/IRC

Thanks. I'll stick to the Ticket and this forum thread. They'll eventually see them.
Re: v6.1.37 Test Build 152627 - Fails to Install
If you want to get test builds starting with 6.1.36 running with Windows 10 and later then you'll need the timestamp CA cert. Whether you install it manually or let the installer do it with the appropriate option doesn't matter.

Re: v6.1.37 Test Build 152627 - Fails to Install
I've thrown the ball to get the confirmation of my theory from the highest level.
For a description of how to do what klaus suggested, see my previous posts in this thread. HTH.

Re: v6.1.37 Test Build 152627 - Fails to Install
If the process has changed from the .35 Test Builds, then can you please document the process that we need to do, on the Test Builds page, so that we can continue to know how to test VirtualBox Test Builds for Oracle?klaus wrote:If you want to get test builds starting with 6.1.36 running with Windows 10 and later then you'll need the timestamp CA cert.

Re: v6.1.37 Test Build 152627 - Fails to Install
VirtualBox Devs:
The installation problem persists with Oracle VirtualBox v6.1.37 Test Build 153415
And I see no new required installation instructions, on https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds
Please advise. Thank you.

Re: v6.1.37 Test Build 152627 - Fails to Install
The instructions on the test build page are now updated. Sorry that it took so long... Hope it is clear enough.
