I googled and found sequence like “downloaded installer -extract C:\vmplayer” to extract the contents of the installer to a physical location. One more thing I noticed while the installation started was, the package was extracting the file (though the exact location was not shown). Ran the installer and was given another error stating “Device.Cab” cannot be read because either the file is not existing or it is corrupt or blah! THE ONLY WISE THING I DID WAS KEEPING THE DOWNLOADED FILE. I searched about this error throgh google and found many entries mentioning about a corrupt downloaded file and about multi-layer file crunching. I checked with temp folder and I was able to see that the UI.cab file was intact.
The installation went on for a while without throwing any errors and all of a sudden it prompted with an error message saying ‘UI.cab” could not be found. I started the installation without checking for compatibility issues, as the player was guaranteed to run on Windows 7. The Installation file size was shows as 89MBs with the download site (OH yeh, as if the download procedure is so straight forward…check it out), when it downloaded it has shown as 92.xx MBs (who cares as far the download completed). However, I was feeling ditched and opted to download VMWare free player. I uninstalled Java VirtualBox and my beautiful Windows 7 professional 64bit once again become “STABLE” With the last few BlueScreen experiences I was sure that Sun VirtualBox has made Windows 7 angry and I should get rid of the same the earliest possible or I will have more issues. Once restarted the stupid error reporting started and the details pan clearly shown the information as “Bluescreen”. Windows 7 restarting process hanged up for almost 8-10 minutes and given me a beautiful Bluescreen of death, told me it is dumping some information and then restarted. I created a Windows XP virtual machine, joined the same to our local domain and installed couple of most necessary software (Antivirus, IE8 etc) and was truly glad to have Windows XP back. I opened up the VirtualBox and everything seemed working okay.
The installation went smooth until 78-85% and a shortcut to the VirtualBox was created on my desktop and then the installer just stopped responding. Had you try to install VMPlayer or Sun VirtualBox on your Windows 7 box yet? Okay let me tell you how I managed and what I didn’t manage until date.ĭownloaded the latest version of Sun VirtualBox
