Installing USB support later possible?

Post by xerces8 »

Hi!

In installed vbox 5.2.18 but deselected USB ("VirtualBox USB Support" option in the install wizard).
Later I realized I need the USB functionality.
I tried to change installed components by restarting the wizard, but the only option besides "Uninstall" is "Repair", which does not install the USB support.
Is there a way to add USB support after installation?

Or should I just reinstall it altogether?

Regards,
David

Odd, I would have expected the USB option to reappear.

No matter, just uninstall VirtualBox and install it again. Naturally this will not affect VMs.
