Background info:
Was running VBox 1.5.4, unwisely decided to uninstall and install previous 1.5.2 version. Once installed, the following error occurs when trying to create a new Host interface adapter:
Failed to create the host network interface VirtualBox Host Inteface 1
SetupDiCallClassInstaller? (DIF_INSTALLDEVICE) failed (0x00000002).
Result Code:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: Host
Interface: IHost {81729c26-1aec-46f5-b7c0-cc7364738fdb}
Have sinced tried uninstalling Vbox 1.5.2 and reinstalling 1.5.4 but the same error results. Cannot create any host adapters at this point.
I am running WinXP SP 2 with the latest critical updates applied.
