Last modified: 30 Mar 2018, 9:34:43 UTC What do you mean with "not allow Oracle S/W to be run". Do you get an error message? Something like this maybe? Maybe you can upgrade Virtualbox?

Trying to install the latest version of causes an error during the installation. It says to contact the software developer which I guess is Oracle. Have you seen this? ID: 34812 · Reply Quote

To narrow down on the problem, can you: open Virtualbox installer continu until you get the error in the menubar at the top : go to Window - Installer Log What error do you see there? If you don't see an error. Change the Detail level from 'Show errors only' to 'Show all logs' ID: 34829 · Reply Quote

I fixed it by running the installer again and selecting "Repair". This worked for me while un- and re-installing didn't fix the issue. Might be worth a try. ID: 34834 · Reply Quote

I guess as long as a given version of the VBox works well, it's better not to touch it. ID: 34836 · Reply Quote

I found a solution on Virtualbox.org in their forums section. "If the GUI solution does not work, reboot in Recovery mode and enter: CODE: SELECT ALL EXPAND VIEW spctl kext-consent add VB5E2TV963 Reboot in normal mode and install should be ok. This command does not disable the Apple security mechanism, it simply adds Oracle to the list of approved developers." This worked for me. ID: 34837 · Reply Quote
