VirtualBox Broken after removed harddrive

Post by HuuXu »

Hello there people of Virtual Boxes!

Been using VirtualBox for some time and usually works as a charm for what i'm doing.
However. I stumbled on a problem that i can't seem to find any proper guides or support to fix and was hoping i could get some help in here.

So i had VirtualBox installed on my drive Q:\ .
And so without uninstalling the programs i had in there i removed the HDD(Q:\) from my computer.
Realized i still needed VirtualBox so i downloaded the install (VirtualBox-5.0.6-103037-Win.exe) and tried to install it.
To my surprise it alarms me saying "Invalid Drive: Q:\" and after clicking OK it sends me off to a premature finish of the install.
Giving me further a further error window once clicking finish.

In Programs and Functions it just says yet again "Invalid Drive Q:\" when i try to uninstall it.
Usually the OS, in this case WIN10, works it's magic and manages to remove programs anyway so i can install them once again. But not this time.

I've probably messed up the register or something. I'm pro but i hope i can find someone who is in here :roll:

*edit
Tried CCleaner's uninstall, delete, registry cleaner and the basic cleaner feature, nothing does the job.
Delete -> "Cannot delete MSI installer."
Uninstall -> "Invalid Drive: Q:\"

My regards //HuuXu
