Everything went bad after Win 10 upgrade?

Post by JimmyHoffa »

I was running VirtualBox 4.3.30 under Windows 7 Pro and after upgrading to Windows 10 most of the virtual machines had some sort of network issue. I looked around and noticed that at some point version 5 of VirtualBox was released even though the update function of the version I was running never told me.

When I try and install the latest version (5.0.2), I get the message "Failed to create extraction path...VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS". Do I need to remove 4.3.30 first?

In fact Windows 10 is not yet a supported host, though most things seem to work. See the "Windows 10 Hosts" sticky at the top of this forum. Continue at your own risk.
