Weird error.

Post by santiump »

After installing VirtualBox 1.3.8 I tried to run it, but it won't. This is the error message that appears:

Code: Select all

Could not create the VirtualBox home directory 'C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXX\.VirtualBox'(VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).


Result Code: 
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: 
VirtualBox
Interface: 
IVirtualBox {e1d95593-f579-4f47-b489-0b67181014e1}
Callee RC: 
E_NOINTERFACE (0x80004002)
Where XXXXX is the name of an user different than mine, so it is trying to create its home directory in another user's homedir.
How can I solve this? Is there a way to install Virtualbox just for one user?
Thanks in advance, and excuse my english.

VirtualBox is running under a different user account then. No idea why, must be something about your system.
