I am user Jimbo, an administrative account. I was able to install the VB base 5.1.14-112924, but I got the following error message when I tried to install the corresponding extension pack:
Code: Select all
Failed to install the Extension Pack /Users/Jimbo/Downloads/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.1.14-112924.vbox-extpack.
The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp: error: The owner is not root: '/Applications'.
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: ExtPackManagerWrap
Interface: IExtPackManager {edba9d10-45d8-b440-1712-46ac0c9bc4c5}
I see the following at the start of the output for ls:
Code: Select all
~ $ ls -le
total 0
drwx------ 3 Jimbo 501 102 May 16 2014 Applications/
Code: Select all

User Jimbo - the administrative account that I always use - has Read & Write permissions with /Applications according to Get Info. "everyone" has "No Access."
How do I resolve this installation failure?
