Here take a look at this:   I really fucking hate VirtualBox sometimes! Like this is what I get for attempting to install an older version of VirtualBox it was version 6.0 that I was trying to install that it crapped out on me with this "ERROR" it kinda partially installed it's self I think I really idk? I didn't find anything in the Windows Registry I even checked the Temp folder I don't know what the hell is going on here!? But when I tried to install VirtualBox 7.0.18 I think the installer got corrupted or it did it to my Install of Windows I keep deleting the VirtualBox 7.0.18 and trying to redownload it but all I f*cking get is this dumb stupid error over and over again asking me where is the f*cking file shown in the first image above it said that Windows cannot find anything so I may have to reinstall Windows if it's that bad. If their is any kind of solution of any kind I will take it and appreciate it. But it's all my fault for trying to install an older version of VirtualBox, if I didn't try to do that than everything would have been fine than! |

Use VMWare instead. It's free for personal use (both Player and Workstation) and is much faster at emulation than VBox.

Firstly, please don't mention random users on the forum to ask them for help. Secondly, VirtualBox uses a MSI file, what if you extract it from the installer and point the prompt to that?

Okay, a YouTube video helped me out with this one. I went to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products and deleted the key that was causing VirtualBox to act up, but also I was very lucky as Oracle released a new version of Virtualbox today version 7.0.20 and it just worked. The Jackal You can now close and lock this thread I'm sorry for all the trouble that I caused I was in a massive state of panic, I was even going to reinstall Windows but now I have no need for that to happen anymore... |

Sounds like you had a lot of fun with VirtualBox.
Not.
My advice would be: Get rid of it. VirtualBox is crap.
One day everything might work beautifully, the next day none of the virtual machines will be able to boot.
Just like that.
One day USB will work (inside a guest OS), the next day it won't.
It's just extremely unreliable and therefore not even good enough to use it just for fun.
At least that's my take on it.

you should consider googling your issue before opening an unecessary thread on the forum

I used VMWare and that thing sucked lot it was also giving my PC hardware problems for some reason unlike Linux and Mac we don't have other options here plus I'm on Windows 10 Home not Pro so no Hyper V. Besides Hyper V wouldn't boot any VMs even if I had all the settings I needed on both the UEFI and Windows itself. This was one time when I had access to a friend's PC that was running Windows 10 Enterprise. you should consider googling your issue before opening an unecessary thread on the forum What do I look like here a " normie"!?! Google is crap SEO Spam AI Sludge Garbage besides only " normies" like you would use that crap. Google is garbage now a days a search result yields nothing good genius think before you talk! |

Well Hyper-V isn't great either but VMWare is pretty decent.
I don't know why it was giving your PC problems.
The thing with VMWare is: use the oldest version that runs the guest OS that you want.
So if Windows 7 (just as an example) is the most recent Windows version you want to run, VMWare 8.0 is good enough and it also runs on Windows 10.
This way, VMWare should launch pretty quickly and work nicely even on older hardware.
Even if your hardware isn't that old, you could still benefit from older versions of VMWare because the newer ones are just bloated.

Okay than where do I get VMWare 8.0 version 16 and 17.5 where messing with my Keyboard. Linux has KVM and Mac OS has Parrels sucks that Windows doesn't get more options than that? |

It makes some of the Letters on unusable on my Laptop even when I do a full on restart of the Laptop it still would have some Letters disabled which makes it very unusable with some numbers thrown in there as well but not as much. |
