This is also happening for me.

I'm trying to upgrade my install from 3.1.4.0 r57640 to 4.1.8 r75467. My host OS is Win7.

I'm running with UAC disabled, using an Administrator account, and have no VirtualStore directory. Running as admin using the right click context menu makes no difference. Running with UAC enabled as either a Standard User or Administrator makes no difference. I've made sure all previous installed files and folders are removed, prior to installing 4.1.8, but yet the problem still occurs.

It sounds like why most users are saying running as administrator works for them is because when they do that, they then have permissions to modify the Program Files directory, and VirtualBox is no longer using some stale data/config information that may have been left behind from the previous installation. This isn't really a solution, it's more like a temporary workaround.

Have just loaded the latest update, and this problem has suddenly appeared. The reason for failure seems clunky, better design needed.

Can only be some installation issue. Is the problem reproducible if after you uninstalled and re-installed VirtualBox?

Ajju, the log clearly shows that the file 'G:\AX RETAIL 2012\Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 FP - AX2012-A\Virtual Hard Disks\AX2012-A.vhd' is read-only for the user which starts VBox. This is definitely not a VirtualBox bug, it must be some permission problem on your host. Even if you are Administrator that does not mean that you have unlimited access to every file. You have to fix the permissions first. As nobody else answered to my requests 4 months ago, I will close this ticket.
