BigSur host: installation fails from 6.1.18

Post by ThijsB »

I'm still on 6.1.16 because every update since is causing me the same problem:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}
Host MacOs: 11.3, guest W10 pro x64, build 19041.928 latest update

I kept hoping that a new update of VB would solve the problem, but still the same problem on 6.1.22. So returned to 6.1.16 which works fine.
What might be the problem?
Tia!

Sorry, I can't diagnose "installation fails". Details are required, i.e. precise error messages and potentially log files.

I'm not sure why you mention a guest OS. You seem to be talking about failure to install the VirtualBox app itself on your host?

Thx Mpack!
Virtualbox installation is no problem, the problem arises when I start my VM which is W10.
First:
The VM session was aborted.
Resultaatcode:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}

Please provide a complete VM log file (from 6.1.22). Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here

That log was created by 6.1.16, so no, it is not the correct one. Your excerpt was from 6.1.22, so just do what you did before, except zip the entire log and attach it here.

I can't tell anything about what has failed in 6.1.22 if you give me a log from a (working?) 6.1.16 VM.
