VB no run on Win7x64

[Carlos Pizzi]

Hello

Run VirtualBox in Win7x64 Ultimate SP1 and the following error and closes


Fallo al crear el objeto COM de VirtualBox.

La aplicación se cerrará.

Receptor RC: E_NOINTERFACE (0x80004002)





Any idea why it fails?

thanks

I think it's unfair to say it "has been answered many times over." I'm already doing that search and so far all I see is people suggesting the same knee-jerk responses that don't actually fix the problem (and which I at least have already tried anyway.) not to mention that if there was a known problem with a reliable fix, presumably it would be corrected in the application's installer sometime between 4.2.17 and 4.3.16.

I have deleted every single trace of VBox I can track down, and rebooted repeatedly. I have reinstalled (after uninstall and reboot) using "Run as Administrator" on the installer. I have tried running VBox with and without "Run as Administrator" and in all scenarios I get the same dialog as above, with the same entry in VBoxSVC.log:

EDIT: Apparently I'm still too much of a noob to post "URLs" so I've intentionally broken the URLs and IPs in the log above.

Apart from anything else, this is not strictly a VirtualBox problem. It is Windows problem. VirtualBox has not even loaded yet. The installer is a Windows program, not part of VirtualBox. The problem is with Windows permissions.

Were you trying to run the installer as Administrator?

Thank you, Bill, I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Apart from anything else, this is not strictly a VirtualBox problem. It is Windows problem. VirtualBox has not even loaded yet. The installer is a Windows program, not part of VirtualBox. The problem is with Windows permissions.

Even if that's true, the installer ran with no error messages. The log I posted is generated anew each time I run the VirtualBox GUI. The "RC: E_NOINTERFACE (0x80004002)" problem is reported all over these forums and hasn't gone away.

Let's presume the problem is with Windows permissions. It's still a problem introduced by a change in VirtualBox. It's well known that this problem started after 4.2.16. It's also well known that I can go download and install 4.2.16 right now and everything will work fine, with no monkey-business. Except that I'd be missing support for newer OSes, which is the exact reason I'm trying to get past 4.2.16.

Were you trying to run the installer as Administrator?

I have reinstalled (after uninstalling and rebooting) using "Run as Administrator" on the installer. I have tried running VBox with and without "Run as Administrator"

To clarify I have run the installer both with and without "Run as Administrator", and I have run the VirtualBox GUI both with and without "Run as Administrator".

Thanks again.
