Getting Error When Installing Virtual Box

Post by azores5010 »

I'm getting a "network" error as well as Windows not being able to access the zip file for Virtual Box telling me I should check the spelling of the file. My network connection is fine. Used several different access points in different locations (library, home, school) with same effect. What is going wrong?

Please provide exact error messages. The vagueness of your report prevents us from helping you.

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 using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
