Cant install Windows 7 (64 bit)
Cant install Windows 7 (64 bit)
MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.5. Successfully installed VirtualBox 4.3.20 and matching extensions. I have downloaded Win 7 iso from Microsoft (and a key). I've tried installing from the ISO on a USB drive and from the ISO on the host drive. Install crashes. Log is too big to attach, png attached.(Also created a bootable Win 7 USB drive but can set that as boot) I know this is basic stuff, what am I missing? Thanks

Thanks, I downloaded the Windows copy from the vendor which turns out wasnt the problem. Real problem was user (me) who bought 8.1 and then tried to install it in a 7 machine. Worked like a charm once I read the name of the installation file
