persistent installerror with virtualbox - windows

have an persistent issue, that i cant get off. I´m trying to install virtualbox on Windows10, and something in the system dont let me...
From BEGIN:
I am new in Virtual Machine. so i installed first vmware Player, to work with and then virtualbox. then i uninstalled both and have now a big mess to handle. cause i want to use and install only virtualbox. But the failure by install is always the same, by everything i tried.
ERROR:
from setup:
Setup Wizard ended prematurely beacause of an error. Your System has not been modified
an extra Popup with: Installation failed! Error: An massive Error occured at installation!
in Windows Log:
Das Produkt wurde durch Windows Installer installiert. Produktname: Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.1.26. Produktversion: 5.1.26. Produktsprache: 1033. Hersteller: Oracle Corporation. Erfolg- bzw. Fehlerstatus der Installation: 1603.
I tried:
Installing by turned off firewall. Nope
Removing all files, directories that still was on PC (even cleared all systemcaches). Restart PC and try to install. Nope

It´s not the ideal solution, but it solving the issue.
At installation, just dont need to install USB-Drivers.
and the setup is running through and completes installation.

Vagrant not up and stuck there without any error message

The environment is Windows 7 64 bit ultimate. vutual box 5.1.22 installed. Vagrant 1.9.7 is installed and.net framework 4.5 and microsoft c++ redistributable 2010 and 2012 are installed.
vagrant box add ubuntu/trusty64
vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64
Both command above are successful!
Then, nightmare happened.
vagrant up
is stuck. No any error message displays in screen. It just stuck there.
Are there anybody know this software. Is this vagrant always not stable like this? It is so unfriendly, and no any error message to pop out.
I've had similar experience with Vagrant 1.9.7 and VirtualBox 5.1.26 on Windows 7 x64.
Run vagrant up --debug to see detailed output of the process. It gets hung at some point. For me it was at STDOUT TRUE.
The solution that worked for me was to start the vagrant_up --debug, then at the point when it gets stuck, open task manager processes, and kill the powershell.exe process. I had to do this each time it got stuck.
Another alternative is to upgrade PowerShell to version 5, using the Windows Management Framework 5.
Last resort is to downgrade to Vagrant 1.9.6, which works as expected.
There is an open Github issue with (possibly) additional detail:

Unable to install XAMPP in windows 10

When i tried to install xampp in windows 10 64 bit it shows "windows cannotfind -n".
Is it the first time you're installing XAMPP on that machine? If it is, I would suggest to run some cleaning software that searches for unnecessary files and folders, clean them up and then try to install XAMPP again.
I recommend software like:
AdwCleaner (https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/)
Malwarebytes (https://www.malwarebytes.com/)
CCleaner
Why do I suggest these? I personally use those myself and it often helps solving my problems with installing software.
If you've already installed XAMPP before, uninstall it completely and try to install it again after reboot!

Virtualbox throwing errors on Windows 10 TP on vagrant up

The VM I was trying to run was running perfectly on a Windows 7 machine.
I had upgraded to Windows 10 and tried out the same machine (with all the same configs and vagrant boxes), uninstalled and reinstalled virtualbox several times, but it still doesn't work.
Tried making a brand new VM - that didn't work too.
Here's the error
Some people who had similar 'hostonly' errors have suggested to restart the VirtualBox service from terminal, but I don't know the Windows equivalent of that command.
Anybody had this error before? How do I solve this?
A test build is available at https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-5.0.1-101902-Win.exe . This should fix the host-only interface creation problem by introducing a 5-second timeout when querying the registry key. We would appreciate feedback (i.e. does it fix the host-only interface creation errors or not, is the timeout long enough).

See https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14040#trac-change-55
Uninstalling the current VirtualBox and installing the testbuild worked for me
I have the same error and it seems to be a problem with changed network security in Windows and still no updated for it in Virtualbox.
Not pretty but a working solution (tested under Win10 build10130). This is what I did to get homestead up and working
Uninstall Vagrant and VirtualBox (restart if necessary)
Install notepad+ or other notepad replacement that handles linux line-endings
Download Vagrant v1.7.2, VirtualBox 5.0RC1, VirtualBox v4.3.6
Enable built-in administrator account.
net user administrator /active:yes
switch to Administrator account
Install Vagrant v1.7.2 (restart if necessary, log back into Administrator)
Install VirtualBox v5.0RC1
Install VirtualBox v4.3.6
Update VBox Host-Only adaptor driver (device manager,Search Automatically)
Edit VagrantFile file (where ever you vagrant up from) and change all ~/ to C:/Users/username/
Edit Homestead.yaml (Where ever you had it, likely C:\Users\username\.homestead) and change all ~/ to C:/Users/username/
Open VirtualBox
Run vagrant up
switch back to your usual user (do not sign out of Adminstrator)
hey presto, you have a working homestead
Each time after to manage vagrant (start, halt, whatever) switch to Administrator, manage, and switch back to your usual user. Do not sign out of the Administrator account when switching if you have a box up

Vmware Workstation 11 installation MSI failed in Windows 8.1

I get a MSI failed message every time when I install Vmware Worksatation 11 on my windows 8.1 computer. I've tried to clear previous temp data but it doesn't work.
Thanks.
I have the same problem and have fixed it.
Try to disable Hyper-V on Control Panel >>> Programs >>> Turn windows features on or of >>> Unselect Hyper-V >>> Click Ok and restart your computer
If you attempt a VMware Workstation 11 install, and it fails part-way through, a reboot typically addresses the install failure. If not, can you:
post some more information about what the error is
post the %TEMP%\vmsetup*.log files from your failed install attempt

Installing MAC OS useing virtualbox On Windows 8.1

I am trying to install Mac(OSX-Mavericks) using virtualbox On Windows 8.1.
Everything works fine But, when MAC Installation setup starts in virtual machine, it keep on loading and do not start the installation wizard stays on the first screen.
I have waited for a log time like 3-4 hrs but unable to figure out the problem as there is no error.
I am using a dell(Inspiron 3537).
I have installed Mac on my previous Samsung laptop successfully in the same way.
I will provide other information on demand as I'm not sure where the problem is as setup loads but not starts the installation process.
Thanks in advance
enable virtualisation on your BIOS, it may helps.
Open an administrator CMD shell and try this:
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox"
VBoxManage modifyvm <name_of_your_vm> --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff
Then close/VirtualBox and open again (to save your new settings). Boot OSX with "-v" flag.
