Hello Team,

I want to research on some applications and in need to install Portable Virtual Box on my Windows machine. Installation was successful but the problem is in starting VM after configuring Linux in Virtual Box. When I see logs,

I'm afraid that VirtualBox 5.1 is no longer supported. I suggest you install a supported version of VirtualBox in the standard way and then ask on the forums if you are still having trouble with set-up.
