I can't update VB on OSX Yosemite

Post by Dreeg »

Hi all,

I have OSX Yosemite and VBox 5.0.2 and I want to update it to 5.0.4.
Under VirtualBox -> Check update (sorry for any mistake, I have Italian version of VBox) i can't check for update.
Network error, impossible to access the contents.. yet I'm here writing online..

How can I fix this check error?

Thanks in advance,
Dreeg

Check for updates isn't working. Go here to download VB 5.0.4 and the extension pack. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Thanks loukingjr,

I can download and install it or I have to uninstall previous version of VBox?

Technically you should use the VBox_Uninstall.tool. However, you can install it in place since you are using 5.0.2.
