Can't Reinstall VirtualBox on Mojave
Posted: 23. May 2019, 06:50
I downloaded VirtualBox and tried to load up High Sierra on a VM. I didn't have my settings correct, and after correcting them it still didn't work. I read that I needed to uninstall VirtualBox and then reinstall. I have an app called AppZapper that deletes applications and all associated files. It has worked well in the past, but this time I "zapped" VirtualBox and it didn't go anywhere. So I deleted it manually by dumping it in the trash.
I went to reinstall VirtualBox and now it will go all the way installation then throw an error code saying that it can't finish. The weird part is, is that it does finish and I can open the application. However, the first time I did reinstalled VirtualBox it still had my old broken VM in it that I had previously deleted when I deleted VirtualBox the first time.
The error I get when installing VirtualBox is just a general contact the manufacturer message with no code. The error I get when trying to run my VM is this.

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine HSVM.

Any help on any side would be much appreciated!
