Windows could not complete the installation.

Post by Lennart »

Dear all,
After an OSX and a Windows update, I am no longer able to run Windows in my VB. I keep getting the error "Windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation". I have no clue how to this last part. I tried some suggestions mention here, but none of them work.
Any ideas are very welcome !
Thx,
Lennart

Lennart,
From the description of the problem, this had nothing to do with the "10.13 Failing installation; Kernel driver not loaded" thread that you posted your message originally, in the "OSX Hosts" section. If a thread doesn't have the same error/conditions, you can always open a new, appropriate thread. Which is what I did for you in a sense, by splitting your message from that thread.
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM.
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
