Installer for virtualbox on Windows 7 64-bit fails.

[Paul Henry]

My computer: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 6 GB Nvidia Geforce 7300 Windows 7 RC 64-bit

Whenever I go and try to install virtualbox, it always ends in a premature installation fail. I've tried it with 3.0.4 and 2.4.2 and it still fails. I've looked through all of the forums and nothing has helped...Tried running it in compatibility mode too, that fails.

Here is the Windows error reporting event log entry: Fault bucket , type 0 Event Name: PnPDriverImportError Response: Not available Cab Id: 0

Problem signature: P1: x64 P2: 00000020 P3: VBoxUSB.inf P4: ac7b8aaf2ba99c280e95ea018b98b43e9895d717 P5: P6: P7: P8: P9: P10:

Noticed another log entry right before it fails too...The VSS service is shutting down due to idle timeout.

I have experienced the same issue.

I have to uncheck USB and Host networking to install.

Unfortunately the event log entry listed below does not seem to helpfull

One more comment.

I tried to manually install the USB drivers in Win7 x64 and the install process seems to think they are only for 32bit perhaps this is the problem ?

I did install the Network host driver OK.

[pentagonik]

Could you please repeat the installation with enabled installer logging? This ​HowTo shows you how to do that. Please attach both log files to this ticket then. Thanks!

[steve richards]

I repeated the installation (V3.06) two times and it worked both times. I tried the original install at least 4 times (each failed) before adding to this post. Go figure.

[Technologov]

This one is strange, because I have it working. That is - VirtualBox installing fine.

Host: Windows 7/x64, Core 2 Q6600. VBox 3.0.10 and VBox 3.1.0-BETA1.

-Technologov, 14.11.2009.

[Technologov]

VBox 3.1.0 installs and works fine on Windows 7/x64.

Please close as "worksforme"

This still fails.

Intel Core i7 CPU Q720 Windows 7 64bit

Running VirtualBox-3.2.10-66523.exe as Administrator.

Failure during step: Copying Files Installation Failed! Error: 1603

Tried the following:

1. Disabled Just Networking - failed
2. Disabled Just USB - failed
3. Disabled ALL subfeatures (network, usb, python) - failed

I am completely unable to install VirtualBox on this machine.

Please retry with ​logging enabled and attach the log file here.

Replying to frank:

Please retry with ​logging enabled and attach the log file here.

TRAC will not let me attach the log file .... too large.

[pentagonik]

Please compress the logs (using ZIP/RAR/...) and try attaching them again.
