virtualbox.org

Ill try and keep this short but feel free to probe for further information.

I have been running the older version of VB no problem for a while, however, since trying to update I have not been unable to install the new version. I have tried everything, including removing the older version so now I cannot even run that.

I follow setup wizzard. I think IMPORTANTLY I am prompted with 'WARNING NETWORK INTERFACES' which I select proceed with install. It then begins to install, however the copying files step is cut short and it comes up rolling back files. The screen then reads setup wizard ended prematurely because of an error leaving me to click finish. A pop up then appears saying 'installation failed: fatal error during installation'.

This happens everytime. I now also have a red cross over my internet icon on my toolbar (although my internet still works). I think the problem is related to this as it only happened after the first failed attempt. The same error occurs when I try to install older versions.

Please help! Thanks in advance,

Chris

ps Im running windows 7, dell, i5, 4GB

I should add - installing VirtualBox-3.1.8-61349-Win.exe works and actually removes the little red X over the internet icon

I've personally already seen this issue happening, but couldn't reproduce it enough to file it as bug.
I think your best bet would be to check on the Bugtracker if this issue already exists and if not, open a new ticket with as much info as you can.

Hi,

i have exact the same Issue when i try to update from VB 4.1.8-75467 to VB 4.2.6-82870 . In my case encouter a error 1910 at first! German Lang System Win7 Prof 64bit "Error1910">Die Verknüpfung konnte nicht entfernt werden. Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Verknüpfungsdatei vorhanden ist, und Sie darauf zugreifen können".
After that the install wizard ended prematurely. Unistalling the old version and clean all Reg entrys end wit the same Error. Now im back on 4.1.8 i try to find the a solution to install 4.2.6 maybe you can help me.
It looks like a nasty bug on some systems.
