On a standalone 64 bit Windows 7 Box I get the following error when I launch the program.I install it as Administrator and Run as the same.I've installed and reinstalled many times and downloaded fresh copies and cleaned the registruy after each uninstall.
Am I missing anything?

Re: Critical Error Windows 7
You may have a corrupt VirtualBox.xml file. Check its size and if you can, rename it (VirtualBox.xml.old) so that VirtualBox can recreate it.
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.

Re: Critical Error Windows 7
There should also be an "xml-prev" file in the same folder, which is a earlier backup.

Thank you. That worked perfectly.
