Failed To Create The Virtualbox Com Object E_invalidarg

Keywords: Cc: Guest type: all Host type: Windows Description Please failed to create the virtualbox com object linux see forum post  https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=69084 I've tried numerous routes to get VB to start up - failed to create the virtualbox com object co_e_server_exec_failure the only success I've had was to set virtualbox.exe to Vista Compatibility mode - it would then start, and create a vm and virtual disk, but https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=58222 the vm will not start. I'm happy to try to analyse what's going on, if you can give some advise on how to get to the bottom of it (how can I trace what file/registry access is broken?) Latest VboxSVC.log attached. Note however that the on-screen error is "Failed to create https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14319 the VirtualBoxClient COM object. The application will now terminate.

Change History comment:1 Changed 15 months ago by ColH This may not be relevant at all but I've seen mentioned, in another ticket (#12087), the registry key along the lines of "00020424-0000-0000-C000-000000000046". In a procmon trace I see do see for the VBoxSVC.exe process: "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{00020424-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" giving a "Name Not Found" message. I *do* have that key in "HKCR\CLSID\", not in HKCU. Last edited 14 months ago by frank (previous) (diff) Changed 15 months ago

Mr.Mike Expand Collapse Active Member Likes Received: 7 Location: California Central Coast I decided to download the latest version of VBox to my Windows 7 machine and ran its installer and right before it finished it tossed up the Critical error below: failed to create Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object. The application will now terminate. Callee RC: E_NOINTERFACE (0x80004002) Never seen this before. Those with more experience than me probably already know what to do. After struggling through Oracle's forum, Microsoft and this forum, I couldn't find a solution. Then I came across the TechBlog and found this: Go to Start and find the Oracle VM VirtualBox icon and right click. Go to Properties--Compatibility Tab. The box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" was unchecked and I clicked through all the modes and found that selecting "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) was the only one that worked for me. The original answer was Windows XP (Service Pack 3) for a Vista Machine. Hope this helps someone else out. #1 Mr.Mike, Dec 5, 2014 cypress Expand Collapse Well-Known Member Likes Received: 653 Location: South Florida Thanks!

On my PC there was a VirtualBox.xml with size of 0 Kb. Also there was a VirtualBox.xml-prev with a size of 3 Kb. Dates where somewhere around the time the problem started... Renaming the VirtualBox.xml-prev one to the VirtualBox.xml SOLVED my issue. For those without an xml file, here is my xml file, hopefully it helps .....
