Failed to acquire the VirtualBox COM object. The application will now terminate.
Posted: 1. Mar 2021, 13:39
Hi there,
tried to install the 6.1.18 from the installer VirtualBox-6.1.18-142142-Win.exe, but the problem I've got pops up at the very end with any version of Oracle virtualBox I'm trying to install. I tried the 6.1.16 and the 6.1.12, same problem...
The installation on my Win10 Laptop says is OK up to the end. When I click on the last OK button, an error dialog pops up with the message below.
There was a similar error on one entry of the forum of 6 years ago but to me, it was unclear how it was solved.
Thanks
David
