Callee RC: CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE (0x80080005)

Post by jhouse59 »

I've installed VirtualBox 2.1.2 for Windows on an XP machine. When I try to run it I get:
VirtualBox - Critical Error

Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.
The application will now terminate.

Does any one know how to fix this?

Did you try to search the forums? It's even on the wiki FAQ (can be found on the front page, a link is provided in the VirtualBox FAQ. It's often solved if you reinstall VB.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.

Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.

Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.

Yes. The first time I did a search. I didn't get anything back. After I posted this I tried it again. And got something. Seems every one still can't get it to work. I downloaded the latest version. Haven't installed it yet.
Thanks for your reply.

Did you try and reinstall it. It seems to work for me. Which I mostly use Linux over Windows. But, I did get it to work in Windows.
