Error relaunching VirtualBox VM process: 5

[sombra]

The Oracle VirtuaBox release 5 still carries the nasty error "Error relaunching VirtualBox VM process: 5".

New ticket entered: 14269.

Does "still" mean that there was a previous bug report? If yes then duplicate tickets will likely be closed. Also, you need to provide log files: VBoxStartup.log and maybe VBox.log too. Zip and attach to the ticket.

Hi,
This post might help you, ...

Running the latest build (5.0.16 r105871) fighting with the same issue. Kind of getting tired...

The reg key quoted there doesn't exist in my system, disabling Avira did not help. I did not try going back to an ancient version - I came from 5.04 which had the same.

... and the (zipped) hardening log? Without it all we can do is sympathize. p.s. Cross posting is against the forum rules, so I have deleted your other two posts on this subject.

It looks like you are using a hacked theme, particularly a hacked "uxtheme.dll". VirtualBox does not allow unsigned DLLs to run in its execution process.

Google for ""uxtheme.dll" site:forums.virtualbox.org".

Nope, win theme hasn't been touched (other than built-in options, like turning off sounds, adding background). I'll try manually upgrade my build 240 machine with a vanilla 586 iso,
if this is a version/signature issue, it should be fixed.

Something has installed it. Do a search for how to remove it, and see what happens.

I extracted the uxtheme.dll from the installer iso after trying copies from the syswow64 and WinSxS folder and put it in the relevant virtualbox folder but it was no use. With one copy even the VB failed to load,
with the others I get the same error message.

You need to be careful not to mix 32bit and 64bit DLLs. Also the trick about putting an unhacked copy in the VirtualBox program folder isn't guaranteed to work, it's probably Windows version dependant. It's just something that others have found works for them. In the end the only sure fix is not to use hacked and unsigned DLLs that want to inject themselves into VirtualBox, at least not if they cause other things to crash if they are rejected.
