Is this an existing or a new VM? Does *any* VM run? Existing or new?

Did you re-install VirtualBox after you updated to 10.14.5b2? Could you? You might want to print the following steps, or save them in a test file on your desktop, because there are a couple of reboots, and you don't want to go "hunting" in the forums...
  1. Download the latest release, or the latest test build (NOT the development snapshot), if you don't already have them.
  2. Reboot.
  3. Make sure you're part of the "admin" group. If you are logged in with the primary user account/owner, you are part of the admin group.
  4. Mount the DMG from the previous step. Run "VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool". Make sure there are no error messages. If there are, please post them, exactly as they appear.
  5. Reboot.
  6. Mount the DMG from the previous steps. Double-click the "VirtualBox.pkg". As soon as you start the installation, press Cmd+L to show the log. Select "Show All Logs" from the drop-down menu. Before the last step of the installation (Done), click the "Save" in the log window. ZIP and attach that file.
  7. Start VirtualBox. If it crashes, open "Console.app" and look at "~/Library/Logs". Is there a VirtualBox related log with the current date/time? ZIP and attach that file as well.

Hey Socratis,

This resolved the issue. I was installing the test version of the application and getting the error.

Thanks a ton!

Which version would that be? And which version did you install that actually worked? Details, details, details... ;)

Marking as [WorksForMe], because ... it does.

I assume that 6.0.4 is the one that worked. Which was the one that failed? 6.0.5 and 6.0.97? Really??? :shock:

Can you repeat the experiment? They should *not* fail, they're newer than the 6.0.4 release!

I've been getting prompted to update Vbox to 6.0.6 (130049).

After downloading and installing the same (both update existing 6.0.4 and fresh install, following the steps shared previously). I'm getting installation failed. Below is the Logs for the installation.

Seems like only 6.0.4 is working for me :D

That's a different problem. Please see and continue the discussion in the thread "6.0.6 Fails to install on 10.14.5 Beta (18F108f)".
