VirtualBox Installation Hangs on Windows 7

Post by mebdnaconet »

The VirtualBox 4.2.18 installation starts, gets past the "Copying new files" message, but hangs at the window: "Please wait while the Setup Wizard installs Oracle VM VIrtualBox 4.2.18. This may take several minutes."

I am running the installation exe file as Administrator, verified Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS, and checked the Event Log for anything obvious.

Any suggestions? As a test, I tried to install 4.2.16 and got the same result.

Same exact problem.....Win 7.....version 4.2.18....hangs at the exact same message. I had to use Windows task manager to kill it after waiting 20 minutes for it to finish installing.

Unselect host-only part in the install modules, and see if it makes a difference.
