Setup Ended prematurely - The Fix

Post by johnmcbride »

Hey Guys, I have been struggling with getting 3.0.2 installed on several of my systems, including Windows 7. I have managed to put together a fix for the dreaded setup ended message. It involved replacing the DIFXAPP dll's in the MSI virtualbox installer file. The fix is a little long for posting here, but I have the entire instructions up on my blog. Check it out here and hopefully it help those of us struggling with VBox and the setup erros.

Unfortunately this is an almost completely useless fix for those of us also with Windows 7. This requires the download of a driver kit from MSDN which in turn requires buying a subscription to it. A better solution would be one that isn't extremely inconvenient like that.
