VirtualBox Exits straight away with "Service exited with abnormal code: 1"

I've been suffering a problem where by as soon as I start up virtualbox it exits straight away. I have suffered this over multiple versions of osX and also VirtualBox. My current versions are:

MacOS: 10.12.6
VirtualBox: 5.1.26

The error in the syslog is

Code: Select all

Aug 29 21:43:52 Bergkamp com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.virtualbox.app.VirtualBox.45084[14118]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1

If I look at the error in /Users/<user>/Library/VirtualBox/VBoxSVC.log it has the following in it

I have tried totally removing everything and reinstalling.
I have tried the fix mentioned on github:

Code: Select all

for bin in VirtualBox VirtualBoxVM VBoxNetAdpCtl VBoxNetDHCP VBoxNetNAT VBoxHeadless; do
   sudo chmod u+s "/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/${bin}"
done

I've not found anything that has worked. I know some others that are also suffering the same problem
