Echec de la création de l'objet COM

Post by didier.gilles »

Hello,
I recently installed the last version of VitualBox (4.3.6-91406) version on my Windows 7 integral SP1.
(Previously I had VirtualBox4.2.18-88781 which worked correctly). Since that installation (made under administrator elevation), I have systematically the following error :
Echec de la création de l'objet COM
Le programme va s'arrêter.
Code retourné: E_NOINTERFACE (0x80004002)

I uninstall it, reboot, reinstall it : same behavior. I did the same with my previous working version and I have the same error. So I can no more use VirtualBox.

Can somebody help me ?

How exactly did you do that?
- Using the "Run as administrator" when right-clicking on the installer, or
- Logging in as administrator and running the installer?
The first is the correct method.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

I launched the installation with "run as administrator" option.
I can't no more run Virtualbox since the 4.3.6 installation.. Something was broken... prevent me to run old version like newer version.

I made a lot of installations, cleaning registry before, etc. with reboot before and after uninstallation/installation.
The result is always :
Échec de la création de l'objet COM de VirtualBox.
Le programme va s'arrêter.
Code retourné : E_NOINTERFACE (0x80004002)

I tried the last version 4.3.8RC1 : same behavior.

I'm afraid seeing lot of guys in the forum that have the same issue. Never I found a real solution.
I'm too sad :(
