Can't instal ESET NOD32 on Windows 11 Pro VM

Post by ricounet »

Hello
This is my first topic so I beg your indulgence for that
My VM is Windows 11 Pro VM on VirtualBox 7.0.14 r16 1095 with Extension Pack and Guest Additions latest releases
and I'm not able to instal ESET NOD32 Antivirus although I've got a purchased licence key
Can anyone help me ?
Thx in advance

Please tell us exactly what's going wrong when you try to do the install.

Also, please provide a log:

Please start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Attachments tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)

My licence key is an offical one (I can provide it by PM)
Same issue with free trial licence

Well the solution was to temporarily change DNS servers and Google's (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) then remove "0.0.0.0 edf.eset.com" & "0.0.0.0 expire.eset.com" from host file
Now it connects to the servers and the licence i bough gets activated properly
Could be helpfull for other users
