New To vBox

Post by Mjolnir »

DL today.
spin up an image from a vendor
requires extension
DL extension
Extension won't install (mismatched version)
Confused
Check site and re-download vBox this time I get 5.20 (last time I got accidently 5.18 for whatever reason)
5.20 won't open immediately crashes
use uninstall script , reboot, reinstall 5.20
same crash
uninstall script reinstall 5.18
can't find extension file for 5.18 only for 5.20 and 5.0.38

I need either a fix for 5.20. or the extensions for 5.18
My virtual appliance errors needing USB 2.0

Thanks in Advance
Mac Mini
fresh copy of MacOS 10.12.4

You just happened to download VirtualBox in the middle of the updates from 5.1.18 to 5.1.20. ;)
Please try again for the main program and the Extension Pack (ExtPack).
