I've returned with a different flavor of issue, now one related to Guest Additions!
Problem: Guest Additions fails to install drivers, installer crashes mid course.
Host details: VirtualBox 6.1.35 r152011 Qt5.6.1(I'm running a test build as suggested here) on Debian 11, kernel 5.10.0-15-amd64, Intel i6-6200U CPU.
Guest OS: Windows 10 Home, recently installed, obtained from Microsoft Media Creator.
Procedure: (Please note that the wording might be slightly different, I'm running a non-English VBox and W10)
- Open VBox dropdown menu Devices > Insert "Guest Additions" CD image.
- In the ISO, open VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe, agree for the executable to do changes on the system.
- Follow the installation process using the default settings for install location.
- During the installation process, the following message appears:
Code: Select all
Installing guest driver ... Executing: "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox Guest Additions\VBoxDrvInst.exe" dri... Installing driver ... INF-File: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox Guest Additions\VBoxGuest.inf (1) ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW (1) RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0xE0000247) ERROR: Adding driver to the driver store failed!! Execution returned exit code: 2 Error excuting ""C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox Guest Additions\VBoxDrvInst.exe...
- As the program seems to be stuck, pressing cancel throws a message requesting the user to go to the VirtualBox folder and check for install_ui.log, but there is no such log in that location. There's only an install_drivers.log file there that repeatedly shows the text
Code: Select all
(1) ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW (1) RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0xE0000247)
I'd appreciate any help you could provide.
