Not with that much information, no. We need a lot more details. Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance. And we're going to need to see the exact error. All of the error.
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.

Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.

The application will now terminate.

No, not really! :)

Can we start with some clear definitions.

1. Host = ???
2. Guest = ???
3. VirtualBox version = ???

For questions 1 and 2 be as fully descriptive as possible. Saying "Windows 10" for example is pretty meaningless, the version is "Windows 10 Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.165).

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.

"CLASSNOTREG" implies that the software has not been installed, at least not for the current user. VirtualBox is a relatively complex application with several interrelated components which must be properly installed and configured during installation. I.e. install the software properly.

If the host is Windows 10 why have you posted in the "Linux Hosts" forum? If you want to create a hotel for virtual machines then you'd do well to be clear in your own mind about who the hosts are and who are the guests!
