I tried as Administroar and user account.

Please let me know how to resolve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

I've installed virtualbox with this way.

VirtualBox-4.2.6-82870-Win.exe -x -p VirtualBox
cd VirtualBox
VirtualBox-4.2.6-r82870-MultiArch_amd64.msi

But, the directory which virtualbox should be installed was empty.

Any ideas?

Is this a new installation? The earlier message simply means a corrupted VirtualBox.xml. Reinstallation will not fix that since an install never overwrites an existing VirtualBox.xml. You need to make sure this file is deleted or repaired before you (re)install VirtualBox.

Thanks mpack.

Before installing virtualbox at new installation windows 8, I copied ".VirtualBox" folder of windows 7 for using same settings.

I'll try delete ".VirtualBox" folder and reinstall VirtualBox.

----------------------------------------------

I tried to re-installing after deleting ".VirtualBox" folder, but I got this error message.



Even though the "TakeOwnership" command was executed.

I would restore the .VirtualBox folder. Then uninstall VirtualBox. Then you can delete the .VirtualBox folder and reinstall VirtualBox. Also I would install in the standard way, not using the command line.

I've tried to install the standard way and using the command line, but VirtualBox could not be installed.

So I cannot uninstall the VirtualBox.

Please let me know where is the log file.

I've found this at "c:\Users\maestro\Local Settings\Temp\MSI38443.LOG"

I tried to install VirtualBox as user account and Administtrator, but I got same message.

I resolved this problem following this tip at "http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/intern ... ost6933111".
Additioanlly I pushed "TakeOwnership" command on my right mouse boutton context menu, everytime during installation, on the folders;

• C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\
  C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp
  C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp\VirtualBox

And additionally I did some more things at permission part at folder's property.

But I could not install "Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.6-82870.vbox-extpack" and there comes "Could not make VirtualBox Object" message -
Caller RC:
CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE (0x80080005)
.

Yes!

Re-install virtualBox, and fixed.
