Just tried to update Virtualbox to V6.0.8 and get "The installation failed etc" I've tried the "fix" in System Preferences but the 'Allow' button is greyed out.
I have even disabled Gatekeeper without any luck. The annoying thing is VB was working just fine but I thought an update would be an improvement!
Can I go back to a previous VB version from Time Machine?

Well leroydouglas I followed your clue, Ver. 6.0.4 works.
Re-installed 6.0.4 plus extension and all is well again.

Thanks very much.
Good computing bert1453 ! Glad to hear this was helpful.
You do not say what exact macOS you are currently running?
VirtualBox 6.0.8 (released May 13 2019)
support: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17805

Oracle VirtualBox 6.0.8 Won't Install on 10.14.5

Currently VB ver. 6.0.4 is working— I am bit dubious about trying to update to 6.0.8
Well I've answered the last point. No.
Get same error report, Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908).
And, 'where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT'.
Seems like a common error. Still looking for workaround.
Hate to bring this up now but there is a fix for 6.0.8 listed on the VirtualBox forum and also on this forum.
Hi. My Mac is a 21.5inch late 2015.
I had VB 6.0.4 running OK until I followed the nag to download VB update.
Oracle say it's Apples fault but that's no help!
I will have look at the links you have have posted, thanks.
Further.
I am currently downloading V6.0.4 and will instal that.
I didn't see that dialabrain. But now I've looked I'm glad I found an easier way! FB v6.0.4 is good enough for my needs.
Thanks anyway.
