Seeking help with Critial Error - Result Code: E_NOINTERFACE (0x80004002)

Post by CyberGrad19 »

Hi Everyone,

Just seeking some advice from anyone who can help me. I have installed Virtual Box 6.0.4 onto my Windows Host and after installation the program gives me the following Critical Error box:
Failed to acquire the VirtualBox COM object.
The application will now terminate.

Failed to instantiate CLSID_VirtualBox w/ IVirtualBox, but CLSID_VirtualBox w/ IUnknown works.

PSDispatch looks fine. Weird.

Result Code: E_NOINTERFACE (0x80004002)
Component: VirtualBoxClientWrap
Interface: IVirtualBoxClient {d2937a8e-cb8d-4382-90ba-b7da78a74573}
I have repaired the installation as well, in case the download dropped a file but the same critical error occurs. Can someone advise me on how I can proceed?

Regards,

Did you run the installer with elevated (Run as administrator) privileges?

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.
