[Solved] HELP | Installation failed! Error: Fatal error during installation.

Post by Tommex »

So, i tried to reinstall virtualbox because of an internet issue that i had with kali linux machine
So basically i installed the latest currently version, i opened the setup and followed the steps right. after agreeing with Network issues warning the installation started and stuck on the last parts without asking me about would i like to install a device (Oracle corporation) and it was stuck about like 2 minutes and then i got the window that said "Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.2.18 Setup Wizard ended prematurely" and the files were just deleted

Any help solving this problem?

There are many existing discussions of the "setup wizard ended prematurely" problem already, e.g. the following was the top Google hit:

You got to find what's wrong with your installer. VirtualBox uses the standard MSI installer, which has multitudes of problems. A quick search will convince you. You need to address this as a Windows installer issue.

Check to see if you have any corrupted MSI database files:

This is not a problem that we are particularly experts to solve. My suggestion personally would be to start looking at Windows sites.

That's unfortunate, but I don't think we can do anything from our side, unless a Windows_MSI_installer master has any ideas...

I don't consider myself an MSI master, but IMHO this is clearly a permissions issue, i.e. the OP does not have permission to install device drivers. I would have thought that installing using "Run as administrator" would at least make these issues explicit.

I already have full control option on my folder to System and Administrator, and every time i'm trying to install it again and again, i'm running it with "Run as administrator" option
