Hello,
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate guest on a Ubuntu 14.10 host.
After my first installation, I had trouble with the Windows installer. I tried every fix I could google. After nothing worked, I tried a fresh installation from scratch. I'm still having issues with the installer.
After 2 installs from scratch, I'm wondering if this is an issue with the virtual machine its running in.
Anyone had experience with this issue or have good advice to start troubleshooting? I'm pretty new to VirtualBox.
Thank You

This is my first time using the VBoxManage reports and Log files. Let me know if I've included everything properly and thanks for your help.

Re: Windows Installer issues with Windows 7
- You're running the 4.3.18 Ubuntu version of VirtualBox. You need to download the official version from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
- You are using the 4.3.20 version Extension Pack. The Extension Packs (all of them) must match the VirtualBox version.
- You have 4 cores in your host. You assign 4 cores in your guest. Big problem. No more than 2.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
