Failed to create the host network interface VirtualBox Host Inteface 1

[Andrew Stewart]

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.

I think we can close this bug as obsolete.
