Same thing @Christian7544, I would be surprised if it wasn't:
Apr 18 12:26:09 macbookprocgd installd[395]: ./postflight:
    /Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/VBoxDrv.kext failed to load -
    (libkern/kext) system policy prevents loading; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).

Apple will now require all new or updated kexts to be notarized. If Oracle did not notarize the kexts in 6.0.6, VirtualBox will not install on 10.14.5b2 or later. This is most likely what's being seen here. The process is found on Apple's developer website:
Important
Beginning in macOS 10.14.5, all new or updated kernel extensions and all software from developers new to distributing with Developer ID must be notarized in order to run. In a future version of macOS, notarization will be required by default for all software.

Thanks @PokeCaptain.
I replaced the HiDPI screenshot of the screen capture of the website, with a simpler, text.

I visited that same webpage 2 days ago (https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... stribution). There was one thing missing compared to today; that "Important" part... ;)

@oaky,
If you're on 10.14.5beta, I'm not sure that 6.0.4 will help you, since Apple has put a ban on any non-notarized software, but here you go: Download VirtualBox (Old Builds).

I am not a expert but it works with 6.0.4. 128413. Here is the log.

It does not work with any 6.0.5 :?:

That can only mean one thing; Apple specifically targeted anything greater than 6.0.4 on anything greater than 10.14.4.

Which translates in English: you were fine up to now, and we'll let you be. But for anything new since we imposed the rule, you have to get your apps notarized.

This also doesn't work for me. I just updated to AMcOS 10.14.5 beta and VirtualBox 6.0.6 stopped working. I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it and 6.0.7. No go.
Here is my log file.
Any thoughts ???

BTW, as someone else suggested, I was able to go back and install V6.0.4 and this works with 10.14.5 beta.

Yes. One. Read the thread. From the beginning. ALL of it.

Failure to Install VB 6.0.6 or any version on my Mac

Post by addi4567 »

Mac is running MacOS Mojave Beta 10.14.5. Have tried every method possible to install including the terminal "sudo sptcl --master-disable" but it still couldn't install the application.
I checked the logs during installation and this is the error message I got:
"May  2 20:07:39 Adnans-MacBook-Pro installd[371]: PackageKit: Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112 "An error occurred while running scripts from the package “VirtualBox.pkg”." UserInfo={NSFilePath=./postflight, NSURL=file:///Volumes/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.pkg#VBoxKEXTs.pkg, PKInstallPackageIdentifier=org.virtualbox.pkg.vboxkexts, NSLocalizedDescription=An error occurred while running scripts from the package “VirtualBox.pkg”.} {
	    NSFilePath = "./postflight";
	    NSLocalizedDescription = "An error occurred while running scripts from the package \U201cVirtualBox.pkg\U201d.";
	    NSURL = "file:///Volumes/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.pkg#VBoxKEXTs.pkg";
	    PKInstallPackageIdentifier = "org.virtualbox.pkg.vboxkexts";
	}
"
Need to fix this as soon as possible as my main windows runs on the VB. Any help is much appreciated

@addi4567
I merged your post with the existing thread that deals with the problem. The VirtualBox team is trying to get 6.0.6 notarized by Apple. Until then, stick with 6.0.4 that doesn't seem to have that restriction with 10.14.5b...

Two things:
  1. Those are the dangers of running beta software.
  2. Please don't call it "VB", reminds me of "Visual Basic" (bliah). Call it either "VirtualBox", or in the extreme case that you're too bored, "VBox". ;)
