Virtual Box failed installation?

Post by bluecrush »

Hi I have a problem with installing this software v2.0.2 on a Mac OS X 10.9.2 both of which were bought today. My very first time of installing on this mac. I've restarted the mac and shut it down several times. Every time i try to install Virtual Box i get the same error "The installation failed" There were errors with the installation" any other suggestions would very much appreciated ?

thanks

ps:
ive googled and looked up on these forums about this issue and ive done exactly what others have done. which is shut down/ restart and uninstall

Why such an old version of VirtualBox? release version is now at 4.3.8. Also you say both were bought today. Are you saying you paid for VirtualBox?
