Error while installing 4.1.8 update

[tedrob]

Hi,

I've tried installing the 4.1.8 update, but get an error at the last step.

I've tried as an admin, and as a user.

I've tried uninstalling previous version.

I've downloaded a fresher version.

All without success. Not sure what the problem is. Error message goes of installer window.

Had to re-install 4.1.6.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thank you in anticipation.

Seasons greetings

Ted

Are you from the secret service or why do you not write exact what is "an error".

[tedrob]

Hi,

No, I do not work for the secret service.

I attach a screen grab, of the message which did not add much information to my original post. There does not appear to be much more to tell. I do not know if there are any log files to find.

I've tried re-installing a number of times now. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.

Thank you.

Ted

I had the same problem.
Any ideas what could cause it?

Host - MacOS SnowLeopard. Guest - WinXp

I have exactly the same issue on my MacBookPro5,4 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2, any help appreciated.

First I tried to update and as it failed with the same error as describe in previous posts, I uninstalled my previous version of VirtualBox and make a clean install, but it failed with the same error. Here is my /var/log/install.log of the clean install (so to say without having any version installed of VirtualBox):

Edit: Just found a bug report for VirtualBox 4.1.4, where it seems that the same error occurred:

htt ps : // w w w . virtualbox . org/ticket/9741 (sorry for the strange linking, but I'm not allowed to post links, because I'm only a member since 1 or 2 minutes )

Maybe this will help the developers to solve the problem.

Managed to get 4.1.10 installed yesterday evening.

Initially the installation threw up the same error, so I decided to use the new un-installer. This failed the first time, but I persisted, repeating the attempt twice more, until it said nothing to un-install.

I then re-tried the installer and it worked.
