Can’t uninstall virtual box of my windows 10 PC

Post by glikx »

Hi, I don’t know how this has been installed but I must have installed it by accident but now I need to uninstall it because windows won’t let me update unless I do. I’ve tried looking at control panel , nothing. Tried downloading a version to see where the install path is to find it and there was no file anywhere.it let me install it using the installer, so maybe it isn’t there, but still windows detects it on my pc some how.any fixes or anything please I’ve search YouTube and everything.

the Virtualbox installer is really a Microsoft program that works with the Windows MSI installer database. Google for how to enable MSI logging, then try the installation again. If it fails, please post the log as a zip file.

I have two other links to suggest. See also if you have any corrupted MSI database files:
