Can't Install VM VirtualBox on WIndows 7

Hi all,

I was running an older version of VM VirtualBox on my Windows 7 for the past 1 year(I guess), no problem there, I was using it for Genymotion but recently I upgraded Genymotion to the latest version and the Genymotion asked to upgrade VirtualBox, so I downloaded version 5.0.6 and tried to Install it, but it's giving me error : Setup can not copy the file VBoxDrv.sys The same error with othere files too appear, for example : VBoxNetAdp.sys

I tried the older version 4.3.30 as well, but it too returned the same errors.

Also, when I uninstalled and restarted my computer, it showed be error : unidentified device - no driver found

What can I do ?

Right-click on the installer and choose "Run as administrator".

I have tried everything, clearing broken installs, cleaning drivers, cleaning residual registry. and everything with permissions and running the computer and the install file as administrator.

Cross posting is against the forum rules. I have moved your new post here.

You have already received the only answer I'm aware of. Perhaps you would have better luck on a Genymotion forum. It's possible that they mess with a standard VirtualBox install, e.g. by setting up nonstandard install paths. Only they can answer that.
