VirtualBox-4.2.18-88780-Win.exe on Windows 8

Post by Bezz »

Hi,

I've tried to upgrade Virtualbox from VirtualBox-4.2.16-86992-Win.exe to VirtualBox-4.2.18-88780-Win.exe.

Apart from that .18 is much smaller than .16 (22 MB instead of 97 MB), it doesn't run on my Windows 8 Professional. The error says "This app cannot be executed on your pc" (not sure if this is exactly the text because I've translated it from Dutch). Even if I run it as administrator.

Is there something wrong with this version?

Many thanks.

Kind regards, Bezz

Yes. The MD5 checksum is wrong for this file. I think the file is corrupted.
A s for me, download was started from dlc . sun . com . edgesuite . net / virtualbox / 4.2.18 / VirtualBox-4.2.18-88780-Win.exe
