BUG cant install if temp folder is not default
Posted: 22. Apr 2019, 01:48
I have my temp folder in a RAM disk to save my SSD, the %temp% env variable points to R: on my setup.
Since some versions ago of the installer package i got the error 2755 trying to install/upgrade.
After much fiddling with logs i discover that the problem was that the installer extrated the msi and cab file to my R: drive but tried to use the extracted files from the hardcoded path c:\windows\temp\virtualbox.
Please use the %temp% enviroment variable instead.
To replicate just change the default path for temp and try to install.
