The current v5.1.18 only goes up to El Capitan v10.11.x. I read that one could use El Capitan v10.11.x to install Sierra, but I think that is unsupported. I also read that v10.12.4 has clean install issues and to use v10.12.3 instead. I am going to assume Sierra isn't fully supported yet.
Thank you in advance.
When will VirtualBox fully support Mac OS Sierra v10.12.x?

In fact macOS Sierra is supported by VirtualBox 5.1.20 even if not explicitly mentioned. If you have problems with Sierra, open separate topics.

Well, if you insist...
#16644: Installation of clean OSX 10.12.4 fails. Just a clean install, not an upgrade.

Oh I'm sorry. Actually I was talking about running VBox on a Sierra host but not as guest. My fault, I should have looked at the forum title.
At the moment we don't test Mac OS X guests. Thanks for the pointer to the ticket!

Thanks all. Is there a reason why Mac OS X guests aren't tested? Lack of manpower?

Manpower? Interest? Motivation? You could call it many things. That's why we, the volunteers, are trying our best to test things out. It's a common effort after all. We notice and notify (kindly) the developers, and if the developers (or us) can fix it, it will work.ant wrote:Lack of manpower?
