[Solved]Error on installation ExtPack -4.2.14-86644 on Win 7

Post by Patrick24 »

Hi,
It's my first post on this forum so I tell you "bonjour" and "merci beaucoup" for this good job.
I have some troubles to install ExtPack on my laptop and not on my other computer.
When I install it I obtain this message :
-------------------------------------------------------------
Échec de l'installation de l'extension C:/Users/Lycée/Desktop/DownLoad/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.14-86644.vbox-extpack.

The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe: error: Failed to open the extension pack tarball: VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND ('C:/Users/Lycée/Desktop/DownLoad/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.14-86644.vbox-extpack')

rcExit=1.

Code d'erreur : E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Composant : ExtPackManager
Interface : IExtPackManager {3295e6ce-b051-47b2-9514-2c588bfe7554}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I reinstalled (repair) VirtualBox VirtualBox-4.2.14-86644-Win(1).exe without problème and try again installing the ExtensionPack but I obtained same result.

Can someone give me a solution to do a proper install of my extension pack
Thanks a lot

Sorry for my bad English but I improve It ! :?

Hi,
Thanks for your answer,
Now, it's ok, I copied the Extension Pack File in my root directory and I install it : Success !
Notice, I found all my old Extensions packs in the same directory named : C:\Users\Lycée\.VirtualBox
but it's the first time that it can't install the file, I don't know why, I always used this path and I never had problem.
Thanks for your help, now my problem is resolved. :)
