Hi I need help
I tryed to install Virtualbox for Windows 10. I have already tryed the versions 6.1.18 and 6.1.16 but at both versions i get stuck by 70% of the installation. All is fine, i clicked yes by the intermet message and so one but now i stuck. I triyed both versions on SSD and HDD twice. I installed for 1 hour and broke the istallation up. after i closed the setup via taskmanager because it doesn't work normally, I restart my pc. After restart the Folder and the programm were disinstalled. before all were ready tu use and i can start the programm. Please help me and sorry for my english.

the Virtualbox installer is really a Microsoft program that works with the Windows MSI installer database. Google for how to enable MSI logging, then try the installation again. If it fails, please post the log as a zip file.

I am still stuck at Progress after I repaired twice and I don't know where I find the log because all I have downloaded is gone and I broke up the setup and not the setup crash. What can I do? I want to run kali Linux to learn ethical hacking. How can I give more information to you, because you can't help me if you don't know exactly whats the problem is.

We really can't fix installation problems. Virtualbox is not running yet when the installer is running. The installer is a Microsoft program, not a Virtualbox program.

The links above are for fixing the Microsoft installer system.

I have the MSI Log file but where can I send this to you (because the file is 3'622 KB big) or can I send it to the windows support?

If you need help with the MSI installer, you need a Windows expert, not a VirtualBox person.
