Could not find any errors in the console

Any help appreciated.

[EricR]

I found this in the console...
Sandbox: shove(1149) System Policy: deny(1) file-write-unlink /usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse/fuse_lowlevel.h

I don't have fuseOSX installed??

[socratis]

Based on another discussion (Virtualbox >6 installation fails on Mac OS X 10.13.6) where OSXFUSE again refused to get installed, I would say that it seems that something might be wrong with your host's permissions.

Just try to install a standalone version of OSXFUSE, see if it fails...

[EricR]

Do you know permission the directory structure should have, I have tried OSXFuse and it hangs, the install log is

I have run first aid from startup CMD-R, no issues, any other way to figure where the permissions have gone wrong?

[socratis]

Do you know permission the directory structure should have

1) It's going to be a real pain if you try to manually recreate the proper permissions.
2) Not worth it, just clean re-install OSX.

[MetalShah]

I have a company owned MAC machine and I am facing the same issue. Did anyone find a solution?

[socratis]

@MetalShah,
No, not really. Something is wrong with your OSX installation, not VirtualBox. I would suggest to start looking in the OSXFUSE forums/support, and/or in the OSX forums.

If you manage to find the solution, please let us know as well...
