Screen shot attached. OSX 10.13

I cant get past the instal. I'm not sure what other info to include...it just says contact manufacturer, but I'm not sure who that is? Sorry!

Any advice appreciated.

I think we need one of the mods to move this topic to the OS X Hosts forum as that appears to be what you have.

It looks as though you have fallen foul of Apple's latest incarnation of over-zealous security settings that seems to prevent the kernel extensions being installed on High Sierra. You need to go to the "Security & Privacy" settings in System Preferences and allow installation of applications from Oracle. You will then need to re-run the VirtualBox installer and hopefully it will succeed.

Which is unfortunately and sadly, very true... Appleeeeeeee!!!!!!

Oh, one thing to add to what Andy said; if you're trying this remotely (Shared screen, RDP, VNC), it *will* fail. You can keep on clicking "Allow Developer" for eternity and a day, it won't work... Appleeeeeeee!!!!!!


I think we need to add a FAQ on this, I don't see the situation improving any time soon, i.e. 10.14, 10.15, etc... Appleeeeeeee!!!!!!
