misnamed file in .inf

[johnd126]

I'm trying to install 5.0.10 on Windows 10 and it keeps failing and backing out when installing the Virtual network driver.

I think the issue is that the NetBoxFlt.inf is looking to install VBoxNetFltNobj.dll but the file in the .msi is actually VBoxNetFltNobj.sys.

I've tried extracting the files and manually editing the .inf but Windows then complains about the hash for the file in the catalog being incorrect.

Any clue on how to get around this? I'll downgrade back to Win7 if i can't get Virtualbox with networking running!

I downloaded and installed 5.0.10 on Windows 10 just this weekend (11/28/2015) and it worked fine. Try a re-download. Also, don't forget to right-click the installer exe and "Run As Administrator".

One other quick thought, try uninstalling Virtualbox first if you had it installed on an earlier version. Maybe something from the old install is interfering.

The installer is actually a Microsoft program. If you re-download and run intoe the same problem, do some quick googling to find out how to turn on logging when running an installer, then run the installer again. If it fails while logging, and especially shows the naming error, post you issue and the log on the Bugtracker. The developers will probably fix it very quickly.

I downloaded a fresh copy of the installer just to be sure and ran into the same rollback issue at the same point in the install. Your suggesting that I look into MsiExec logging was a good one. I got this error in the log:

This isn't the same .inf that I mentioned in my original post but it is another networking .inf.

It appears that the issue was with Kaspersky Anti virus. I did disable it before installing VB but apparently that wasn't enough. I removed the Kaspersky completely and VB 10 installed with no issue and the virtual network driver works fine.
