Re: VirtualBox selections
For security reasons you have to install VirtualBox in the "/Applications" folder. You can't even rename it. It will refuse to run.

Please attach the image locally in your response (see the "Upload attachment" at the bottom of the form). Not a lot of people will go to 3rd party sites.

Re: VirtualBox selections
It refuses to let me all it says is "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."

Re: VirtualBox selections
That's weird. I can't say I've seen that before. Anyway, I went to the site with the picture and I'll describe it for the rest of the people until this ... quota thing is resolved.
It is the "Destination" option on where to install VirtualBox and you have three options:

Re: VirtualBox selections
You can't. Unless you boot from your flash drive. I repeat; it has to be installed in the "/Applications/VirtualBox" folder on the root folder of the OS that boots the system. End of story.
