Installing kali Linux on windows 7 virtualbox
Installing kali Linux on windows 7 virtualbox
Hello,
For the past couple of days I have been trying to install Kali Linux on virtualbox (previously installed on Windows 7 (64)). No matter how I try to install it (and I followed the tuto) I keep getting the same message "a critical error happened on virtualbox...". What am I doing wrong ?. This is the first time I try to install Linux.
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Sorry it took me a while to find the log files (got 3 of them). I joined one of them, hope it helps.
Well I tried to send the log file but I get a message saying the extension 3 is not allowed.
Thanks

I only need to see the latest one and you can always compress the file.

What is the exact wording of the error you see?

By the way sorry the error message is in french, I tried to install it in French this time but I had the same error in English. I can install Kali Linux in English if you want and get the correct wording.

Re: Installing kali Linux on windows 7 virtualbox
In the guest settings look under the system -> processor and enable PAE/NX. The guest should then run.

Thanks for the answer, I will try it as soon as my English version is installed (takes a while). I'll let you know as soon as its ready.

The French version should work as well if you enable PAE/NX
