Description

Dear Sir/Madam,

While installing virtualbox.4.3.6 on my windows 8 machine I encountered an error

"Failed to create extraction path 'C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\VirtualBox': VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND" upon probing I found out that the path defined in the installer is "C:\Users\$s\AppData\Local\Temp \VirtualBox" where $s is the user account, please note the 'space' after Temp, I am not sure this can cause any problem as the address when typed in the address bar opens the %temp% folder, when I changed the path to "D:\VirtualBox", it installed smoothly without any problem. please see to it Regards

Did I understand correct that the directory specified in %temp% contains a trailing space?

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
