Trying to install VirtualBox 6.1.14 but stuck on registering type libraries

[xjamesx]

Hi there,

I had an earlier version of VirtualBox installed on my Windows 10 host and am trying to upgrade to 6.1.14 but the setup screen seems to be stuck on "Registering type libraries".

I would appreciate advice on what I can do to safely (and forcefully) remove any old/corrupted VirtualBox components and install 6.1.14 from scratch?

Virtualbox does not distribute a tool to completely clean out a Virtualbox installation from a computer.

Virtualbox uses Microsoft's MSI system to do the install. Regarding MSI installer issues:

That article seems to be: Basic troubleshooting steps for Windows Installer.

I have two other links to suggest. See also if you have any corrupted MSI database files:

• Repair MSI (Windows Installer) 2.8.8.
• Windows Repair 4.5.1 (includes the above).

Google for how to enable MSI logging, then try the installation again. If it fails, please post the log as a zip file using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
