Windows 10: Oracle Virtualbox install fails to launch

I run the installer and it appears to work but then I have two issues;


1. I get the following error when I try and launch virtualbox;


Failed to acquire the virtual box COM object

Completely failed to instantiate CLSID_VirtualBox: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND 0x80070002.


Result Code:


ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND 0x80070002 (0x80070002)


Component:


VirtualBoxClientWrap


Interface:


IVirtualBoxClient {d2937a8e-cb8d-4382-90ba-b7da78a74573}



2. If I try and run vboxsvc.exe, even when double clicking on it Windows says it cannot find the file specified even though i'm double clicking on it or running it through a cmd window.

Oracle VirtualBox not compatible with Windows 10

A several months ago I upgraded to Windows 10. I had been using an old MS DOS database via Oracle VirtualBox in Windows 8.1 so I installed it on the new system and it worked OK and I used it in Windows 10 for several weeks. But, all of a sudden it won't
open! Double click icon on task bar.... nothing, double click icon on desk top...nothing! I tried re-installing it....still nothing! I ran Windows troubleshooter and it says the program is incompatible! It worked at one time!!! Any ideas how to make
it work???

Unable To Start any Oracle VM Virtualbox Virtual Machine after 1803 Update

Do you have the latest updates for VirtualBox?

You should be checking with Oracle why VirtualBox is having difficulties with 1803.

 

Windows 10 v 1703, Oracle VM VirtualBox

Hello community, upgraded to 1703 2 days ago. Most apps are working fine. Except Oracle VM VirtualBox v 5.1.8 stopped working on both computers I upgraded. Luckily there's a new version out ( VBox 5.1.22), installed it & works fine. Just wanted to give
you a heads up if you run into the same problem.
