I am trying to install VirtualBox guest additions on Windows 10 technical preview, and am getting the following error:
I imagine I am not the only one having this issue, is there any way to force it to install?
Answer
Use of Windows Compatibility settings (or use /force
) will not work: installer will run, but with no real effects.
Install VirtualBox 4.3.18 or newer. It has improved compatibility with Windows 10.
Note: Menu Help
> Check for updates
may not reflect the newest as being the latest. Download it manually instead.
Windows Host: Download from Virtualbox Download page for latest.
Ubuntu Host: run the following commands to register the virtualbox.org repository with the package manager and update from it:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib"
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-6
If you prefer, you can install the oldest virtualbox-5.2
.
According to your distribution, replace xenial
with any other Ubuntu release, like zesty
, yakkety
, xenial
, vivid
, utopic
, trusty
, raring
, quantal
, precise
, stretch
, lucid
, jessie
, wheezy
, or squeeze
.
