I am trying to create an internal network on a Windows 8 host. When I try to create a DHCP server I get this error:
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!
VBoxManage.exe: error: Code CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE (0x80080005) - Server execu
tion failed (extended info not available)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or
failed to start.
I do not see any process or service called anything like VirtualBox COM server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Cannot create internal DHCP server
There is an issue with your Virtualbox installation.
Best way to fix it :
Uninstall Virtualbox.
Reboot
Install the latest Virtualbox with Administrator priviledges but NOT AS Administrator
Reboot
Try again in a regular prompt (not elevated one)
