Problems with installation

Post by CarlosR »

Hi! and sorry for my bad english.

I execute setup in Admin mode, click "next" in all menus, setup advice me for Netword Interfaces and proceed with installation. Install begin and finally, the Status bar stop at 80% aprox.

I use Windows 8, Intel i7-4700HQ in ASUS laptop.

This is not a VirtualBox problem, it is a problem with your Windows installer. Note the error messages and search the Windows forums for appropriate help. There have been recently way too many Windows updates that are known to break the Windows installer functionality.

The problem was not the windows installer, I was able to fix the error by disabling internet connections and activating them after installing VirtualBox.
