Description
If I understand correctly VirtualBox 7.x does not support MacOS 10.14. At least the current latest (7.0.8) does not.
I think you should not propose the update to this version for users of VirtualBox 6.x. Proposing the latest 6.1.x makes sense but guiding the user to upgrade to 7.x only for him/her to be told the new version cannot work on their OS after the whole upgrade is applied doesn't make sense.
So my recommendation is in two steps:
- In the "Check for update", don't propose 7.x
- In the 7.x installer, block the user if the OS is 10.14
I guess this would apply to 10.13 and under but I am not sure where the compatibility stops between older MacOS and VirtualBox versions.
