Failed to Open a Session

Post by zyyzot »

Googled the error but found numerous different fixes, none that have worked.
I installed the portable version on a thumb drive and when trying to start it the following comes up..

The virtual machine 'VB1' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'K:\Portable-VirtualBox\Portable-VirtualBox\data\.VirtualBox\Machines\VB1\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {b2547866-a0a1-4391-8b86-6952d82efaa0}

  1. Portable VirtualBox is not VirtualBox, hence not supported here, they have their own support.
  2. This is not the log that you were asked to include, this is the VBoxSVC.log.
  3. Please ZIP your logs next time. It helps save a (virtual) tree or two ;)
  4. Read really carefully the following FAQ: Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues for some guidelines/ideas.
  5. Take a look at #1 again...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
