Re: Extension pack install fails
How exactly are you trying to install the ExtPack, by double-clicking on it? As which user, "joeclifton"? Can you post the output of the command (run from the Terminal):
ls -ale@ /Users/joeclifton/Downloads/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.0.8.vbox-extpack

Re: Extension pack install fails
Issue the command:
Really don't know why it does that, here's how the equivalent mine looks like, and I've never had a single issue:
xattr -rc /Users/joeclifton/Downloads/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.0.8.vbox-extpack

Re: Extension pack install fails
What version of OS X are you running? There has been a report recently of Catalina betas not allowing installation from the regular download directory.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

I completely forgot about that (MacOS Catalina 10.15 Extension Pack Fails)! Thanks Andy!
Oh, and if you want to really start crying about VirtualBox not working at all in Catalina and later, check out "7 Big Security Surprises Coming to macOS 10.15 Catalina". After I read it, I wanted to submit the author in a flogging ritual for dismissing like it's no biggie, the elimination of kexts...

Re: Extension pack install fails
Forgot to tell you that it was Catalina Beta ...
\I moved the pack to another directory and it installs fine now.
Thanks for all the help.

In Vbox, I went to:
Preferences > Ports > USB > USB 1.1 Controller
And VM runs.

Re: Extension pack install fails
I had created a partitioned drive strictly for my OS emulator and had the extension file placed on that drive. I would get this error when the extension was located there. Thanks to this post, I had to move it to a common area on my main C: drive for it to work.socratis wrote:Issue the command:Move the ExtPack to somewhere common, like /Users/Shared/Downloads. Then from the Finder » Get Info, give everyone read-write access.
xattr -rc /Users/joeclifton/Downloads/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.0.8.vbox-extpack
