Hello friends,
I tried to find solutions via the search engine and google, but didn't find any matches...
I want to install VirtualBox 1.6.2 on a Windows 2000 SP4 host, but the installer aborted and told me that it won't work.
Give it a chance to install it nevertheless?
Have a good day!
Greetings
Christian

The VBox team withdrew formal support for W2K at 1.6.2, and many people have said that this was the wrong thing to do. Sorry.

OK, for those who might be interrested...
I found (:lol:) an earlier version (1.5.2) of the virtualbox here:

and it WORKS !
However... cannot launch a XP guest I previously installed on another guest with V1.6.2...
Any idea anybody?

As I said, you have to get orca.msi (from MS), install it and edit VirtualBox msi file.
Then, under "LaunchCondition", alter condition

Read somewhere this week where someone tried it. Doesn't work. There are numerous reasons why support is suspended.
