Hi,
I busted updated to MacOS High Sierra after having it crash. Hence I had to delete the partition of my MacOS and reinstall it. Now I have MacOS High Sierra and have to re-downlaod all my applications. I am unable to install VirtualBox after the upgrade to MacOS High Sierra. Any solution to installing Virtual Box on MacOS High Sierra?
Thanks.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015)
I seem to be having similar problems - ever since upgrading I haven't been able to run any version of Virtualbox, I keeps giving me this error -
The virtual machine 'WindowsArduino' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).

I Have already posted on the virtual box forums - https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=84788
But they said I should ask apple?

I'm sure what michaln meant to say was…
Otherwise see e.g. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=84759 but you might want to complain to Apple anyway for making "our" life more difficult.
He has a history of blaming others when he doesn't know an answer.
Nonetheless, VikingOSX is probably correct. Rather than struggling with beta versions of VirtualBox, wait until the 5.2 release. If you can't wait, you can try the release candidate.virtualbox.org • View topic - VirtualBox 5.2 Release Candidate 1 released
Make sure you use the VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool first. After you install VirtualBox, make sure to check System Preferences > Security & Privacy and allow "Oracle" if listed.
Thanks for the replies - I tried installing RC1 and im getting the same error, the install says failed then it gives me that error when I try to start any machine, VMware etc are giving me similar errors,
It looks like some sort of error in the actual install on the OS?
10.0.1 for Fusion, I reinstalled OS and im still getting the same errors all round, no virtualization software seems to be working, so im not quite sure what I should do, unless I downgrade as Im starting to really need something to work
Read this, solution is at the end (or page 3):
MacOS troubles, I hope we'll have a fix to make it simply working...
Shortly: restart in safe mode and here allow virtual box and maybe other blocked stuffs. Restart in normal mode and you should be able to install VirtualBox. It worked for me.
Okay I figured it out. After you get the failed install message, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy and click the allow "Oracle" button.
You're welcome. FWIW, VirtualBox may need updating to work with High Sierra although I seem to have 5.2 Beta 3 working. Windows 10 guest.
FWIW, VirtualBox 5.1.28 does not seem to be able to install in High Sierra.
Do you think if I try to install an older version of Virtual Box there is chance of it being able to be installed?
Don't know. I would post to the virtualbox forum.
I tried that but that did not work.
Then I would post your question to the VirtualBox forum.
Thanks for trying to help. Looks like I'll just have to post the question on the VirtualBox Forum.
Wait for Virtualbox v5.2 to be released. Shouldn't be too long now. See dialabrain post above. Oracle cautions about using pre-release Virtualbox on production machines.
You're welcome. Did you do what I said and allow "Oracle" before you tried to run a guest?
Unable to run VitualBox?
