Hello,
I'm trying to install Virtualbox 3.3.14, but I get this error when I try to run the program:
Code: Select all
failed to install net create session
Can anyone help? I'm using Windows 7 and Avast Antivirus.
Thanks,
Dani

I suspect you actually meant 4.3.14 (since version 3 only went up to 3.2
)
Take a look here:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=62615
especially the first post in red.
Roll back to 4.3.12 or earlier to get Virtualbox working again, or use 4.3.15 to help troubleshoot the glitch.

Wow... That could be a contender for worst post ever!
- Posted in the wrong section (I'm moving it to "Windows Hosts").
- Wrong (non-existant) VBox version number given.
- No explicit mention of host OS (mention of Win7 could mean the guest, profile says "Ubuntu other").
- An error message is quoted, but I suspect the wording given is completely wrong and should be "Failed to install NTCreateSection monitor".
- The topic title is equally wrong and "net" will attract the wrong helpers.
- No logs.
And all that in just a few lines.
Fun aside, I still recognize the problem. You need to downgrade to 4.3.12 and await a future VBox release. Please, and mostly for your own sake, in future try to be more precise when reporting problems! I only stood a chance this time because the question is a FAQ.
