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?

Hi thank you for your reply
.. Erm yes £50 from rip off pc world by the sound of it. I think because it "includes StarOffice" sounds like i should be returning it?
