4.3.4 not working on Windows 8.1 x64

Post by davidwt »

None of my VM's will start up with VirtualBox 4.3.4 on my Windows 8.1 x64 system. I've uninstalled that version and installed 4.3.2 and my VM's work just fine. 4.3.4 gives some error about not able to locate a kernel, regardless of the guest OS (Windows or Linux).

Well, 4.3.6 has the same issue. The last version to work on Windows 8.1 x64 (may be other Windows 8.x versions too) is 8.3.2. Is no one else replicating this issue?

I had the same issue when I upgraded from 4.2.18 to 4.3.6 on a Windows 7 x64 host. I had to return to the previous one.
