Error installing on High Sierra

Post by zak84 »

Hi,
I've got a big problem installing virtualbox on high sierra: I've tried everything, but nothing worked.

Maybe someone can help me?

I got an installation fail at the end of the process, and my log is:

Code: Select all

If the GUI solution does not work, reboot in Recovery mode and enter:

Code: Select all

spctl kext-consent add VB5E2TV963
Reboot in normal mode and install should be ok.

This command does not disable the Apple security mechanism, it simply adds Oracle to the list of approved developers.

I know this is new to an old post. My mine isn't about KEXT. One post mentioned to add the KEXT id VB5E2TV963.
I've look edat the KEXT table and the Team ID is in there. That explains why I don't get the Security & Privacy Apply button for Oracle.

sqlite3 /var/db/SystemPolicyConfiguration/KextPolicy
SELECT * FROM kext_policy;


Why won't any of the Virtual Box installers work for me?
So far I've tried 5.1.18, 5.1.30, and 5.2.8. They all worked up until this last update to the OS.

MacOS 10.13.4 Beta (17E170c)

A call to Apple?
