Hi all, after install of High Sierra virtualbox wont run any machines - iv tried reinstalling several released including the development release but the install keeps saying failed and then when i try to run any machines i keep getting this error -

Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.



Failed to open a session for the virtual machine WindowsArduino.

The virtual machine 'WindowsArduino' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).


Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap

If you upgraded an existing install of Sierra etc. with VirtualBox installed, you need to complain to Apple because that was supposed to work.

Otherwise see e.g. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=84759 but you might want to complain to Apple anyway for making your life more difficult.

Did you read the other thread where the installer had to be run and authorized multiple times?

When you quote something quote it verbatim.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Yes solution found here
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=84759&start=30#p403370

Check in Safe mode the blocked applications, release them, reboot and then you will be able to install VB...

Good luck ;)
