NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005) on OS 13 (Ventura)

Post by TheRocker »

I tried to run VirtualBox 7.02 on OS 13 (Ventura).
This didn't work, I got the error: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005).

How can this be solved?

NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005) is the "basic-est" of error codes in Virtualbox; practically all errors start with this code. But there's a lot more that goes to that error, and that other stuff is what we needed to help.

And we need to know what you were trying. "run VirtualBox 7.02" implies that the error happened only when you started Virtualbox. Were you doing anything else?

This sounds like you were running Virtualbox on a Ventura Mac and had issues, which means this is a host problem, not a guest problem, so this might go in Mac Hosts. Further info will reveal the proper resting place for this topic.

It also appears that Ventura is still beta and 7.0.2 only is supported up to Monterey. Also, if you have an M1/M2 Mac, Virtualbox is a dead end for you. See the M1/M2 Sticky in Mac Hosts.
