    BOINC v7.4.12 with VBox

    Anybody else trying this & if so are you getting an error message about VBox not installing. Programs Installed show the Proper VBox installed though ... ???

    I've never installed the combined package. I install BOINC and vbox individually.

    Re: BOINC v7.4.12 with VBox

    I have read elsewhere that the joint BOINC-VBox installation should be avoided. It was the writer's opinion that VBox should be installed and updated directly from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and the BOINC Manager, of course, from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/. I don't recall the rationale for the opinion, nor do I know if this procedure would eliminate the error message you report.

    EDIT: Well, there you go! The source was likely Zombie.

    I don't see a VBox.exe by it's self, it's either a BOINC exe or a BOINC exe with Vbox ?

    You have to get VBox by itself directly from Virtual Box. See https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

    After installing vbox, be sure to install the Extension Pack. It is on the same DL page as vbox.
