Installer problem

[admiralfluff]

I'm trying to install VirtualBox 4.1.2 on an Intel Core 2 Duo MBPro running 10.5.8

After mounting the image and opening the .mpkg file I get the following error:

Running VirtualBox VM's detected!
The installer has detected running Virtual Machines. Please shutdown all running VirtualBox machines and then restart the installation.

I've never installed VirtualBox on this machine before. Can't find any references to this online anywhere.

halp?

I am getting the same error.

This also happened to me on a Mac Mini under 10.5.8. Tried everything, including running the uninstall script, then deleting all Library and ~Library references to VirtualBox, but no luck. Reinstalled 4.1.18, and I'm back in business now, but it looks like the 4.1.20 installer has a problem.

I’m getting the same error on Mac OS X 10.5.8.

I got the same problem with new version.
I installed older version and there was no problem.

How can I get the older version? The Oracle download site is only showing the newer version.

Not sure which download site you're looking at. On my copy of https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads there's a big fat text saying "VirtualBox older builds" with a link to the old versions.

Thanks for pointing me to that site. I was able to download and install version 4.1.18.

I get the same error trying to install VirtualBox 4.1.20 on Mac OS X 10.5.8, despite rebooting. Using VirtualBox 4.1.18 for now.

No chance to install VB 4.1.20 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard)?

This is listed as fixed for 4.1.22. Download it now and see.

Great! I’ll try it as soon as possible.
