Virtualbox Installation failed unknown error

Post by Banhawy »

I am trying to install VirtualBox on my Mac OS Sierra 10.12.5 which is spitting out an ambiguous error that I can't find a definitive solution for online.
I do remember having installed VirtualBox before and an uninstalled it so I went ahead and removed all traces of any previous installation, rebooted, checked activity monitor and it still doesn't work.
Here's the installer log:

Code: Select all

Jul  5 00:48:26 Adhams-MacBook-Air installd[296]: PackageKit: ----- Begin install -----

	    NSFilePath = "./postflight";
	    NSLocalizedDescription = "An error occurred while running scripts from the package \U201cVirtualBox.pkg\U201d.";
	    NSURL = "file://localhost/Volumes/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.pkg#VBoxKEXTs.pkg";
	    PKInstallPackageIdentifier = "org.virtualbox.pkg.vboxkexts";
	}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

How is this the same problem? My problem is that I cannot get Virtualbox to install at all.
