Description
This MacOSX Snowleopard 10.6.6 (just updated) system had VirtualBox-3.2.4-62467-OSX.dmg installed, and today I attempted to upgrade to VB 4.0.0-69151. Downloaded the dmg, opened it, double-clicked on VirtualBox.mpkg, clicked next,next,next until it got to the last step (Summary), where it said:
There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again.
<!>
The installation failed.
The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
In /var/log/system.log, I found this: Jan 14 10:17:51 shechinah VirtualBoxVM[364]: VirtualBoxVM(364,0x111901000) malloc: * error for object 0x10380ce08: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.\n* set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug Jan 14 10:17:55 shechinah ReportCrash[367]: Saved crash report for VirtualBoxVM[364] version 3.2.4 (3.2.4) to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/VirtualBoxVM_2011-01-14-101755_shechinah.crash
I've attached the crash report.
However, when I started VB to report what version I was upgrading from, it claimed 4.0.0!
This successful "failure" is not the way things are supposed to work; it makes the product look bad.
