VirtualBox: VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED - virtualbox

I am trying to launch two VMs using docker machine:
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox myvm1
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox myvm2
I see the following error in the output:
(myvm2) Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
(myvm2) VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter
(myvm2) VBoxManage: error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: failed to open /dev/vboxnetctl: No such file or directory
(myvm2) VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component HostNetworkInterfaceWrap, interface IHostNetworkInterface
(myvm2) VBoxManage: error: Context: "RTEXITCODE handleCreate(HandlerArg *)" at line 94 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp
(myvm2)
(myvm2) This is a known VirtualBox bug. Let's try to recover anyway...
Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: Error setting up host only network on machine start: The host-only adapter we just created is not visible. This is a well known VirtualBox bug. You might want to uninstall it and reinstall at least version 5.0.12 that is is supposed to fix this issue
I installed the latest version of VirtualBox (6.0.0) from there. When I open VirtualBox window and click on the VMs in the left panel I get the following error popup:
UPDATE
I tried to re-install VirtualBox 6.0.0 and in the end of the VirtualBox installation process I saw the following screen:
Maybe it is a reason of the failures described above? My mac is running on 10.14.1 macOS Mojave
How can I fix these errors?

You probably need to approve the VirtualBox kernel extension in System Preferences under Security & Privacy:
After you allow the kernel extension, the installer should be able to run successfully.

The (rc=-1908) usually happens when the secure boot is enable, try to disable and run your vm again
Secure Boot settings are available in Startup Security Utility:
Turn on your Mac, then press and hold Command (⌘)-R immediately after you see the Apple logo to start up from macOS Recovery.
When you see the macOS Utilities window, choose Utilities > Startup Security Utility from the menu bar.
When you're asked to authenticate, click Enter macOS Password, then choose an administrator account and enter its password.
Select "No security" option

I got this exact error after upgrading my Mac to Monterey. Remove Virtualbox and reinstall solves the problem.

openSUSE-2022-10067 - Failed to open a session for the virtual machine

After installing openSUSE-2022-10067 Security update for virtualbox, I got the following error when trying to start a guest vitural machine: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine. Result Code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: SessionMachine Interface: ISession{c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}
Details: The VM Session was aborted.
I had above errors with MS Win-10 and Opensuse Leap 15.4 Guest VM's on a Open Suse Leap 15.4 VM-Host-System.
Anybody experiances the same issue?
My temporary solution was to rollback the snapshot to pre-installation of the security update for virtualbox. Then it was possible to start the VM's without any errors again.
I think I've seen a similar crash when trying to start a VM with the combination of VirtualBox 6.1.35 and 6.1.36 in combination with the VirtualBox Extension Pack (EP) 6.1.34. Did you also upgrade the EP? ;)
This solves my problem in VirtualBox 6.1.36
With 6.1.35 I could not even update the EP without running in the same error.
Hope this helps.

Virtual box Host only Network Interface

When I am trying to add a new Network Interface for Host only network, Virtual Box version :Version 5.0.22 r108108.
I am getting a following error:
Could not find Host Interface Networking driver! Please reinstall.
Result Code:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component:
HostNetworkInterfaceWrap
Interface:
IHostNetworkInterface {455f8c45-44a0-a470-ba20-27890b96dba9}
Reinstall the Virtual Box and restart your system.
open virtual box -> select the default virtual machine-> setting -> network -> change host-only to bridged networking -> start virtual machine -> Open docker quickStart Terminal to connect
You must reinstall the driver.
Go to device manager, you will find an "unknown driver" missing then update it by pointing to this link:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netadp6\VBoxNetAdp6.inf
Existing answers didn't help me, but this did:
Open the Network tab of your VirtualBox settings.
Cycle through all Adapter tabs and make sure none of them points to something non-existent, even if the adapter is disabled.
For disabled adapters, enable them, set to Not attached, then disable again.
Save.
UPD: that didn't solve it. The solution was to reinstall VirtualBox like #ArpitArgarwal suggests, but simply repairing it didn't help. What helped was:
Manually uninstall existing VirtualBox.
Install VirtualBox, starting the installer with admin privileges.
1.Open Virtual Box with Run as administrator. Then it showing below snapshot error: 0x80004005 belongs to Failed to open a session for the virtual machine. Check with this error correct or not.
http://commandstech.com/how-to-resolve-failed-to-open-a-session-for-the-virtual-machine-error-code-0x80004005/
5.Now, the issue may be solved. If an issue is still pending then close it Virtual Box. Then open with Headless start option. It means that Restart the Virtual Box.
In some cases, (worked for me) running and getting the latest update of vbox fix the problem. And got the Host Interface Networking driver automatically installed.
The update I run was:
VirtualBox-6.0.14-133895-Win
Follow the below settings and it will allow you to configure Host-only Adapter-
Open VirtualBox Manager
Click on "File" -> "Host Network Manager"
Click on "Create".
Now you can select "Host-only Adapter" from Network tab of a VM.

Windows 10 IoT Raspberry - VirtualBox

I want to run the Windows 10 IoT(check here) Raspberry on VirtualBox.
I followed all steps explained here
I'm getting this error:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine w10IoT.
Failed to open image 'G:\VM_Workstations\wIoTTest\kmdF41E.vhd' for writing due to wrong permissions (VERR_VD_IMAGE_READ_ONLY).

I tried for both MinnowBoardMax and also for Raspberry.
I have no Raspberry board, so help needed to run this on VirtualBox.

Virtual Box VBoxManage: error: Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0'

I'm running virtualbox 4.1 on Debian. If I try to start a VM with a bridged NIC I get this error:
error: Failed to open/create
the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (you might need to
modprobe vboxnetflt to make it accessible) (VERR_PERMISSION_DENIED).
VBoxManage: error: Failed to attach the network LUN
(VERR_PERMISSION_DENIED) VBoxManage: error: Details: code
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Console, interface IConsole,

System: Linux localhost.localdomain 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Virtual Box Version: 4.1.18_Debianr78361
The VM starts with a NAT NIC config.
The weirdest thing is if I export this VM and import it to another user, it works. The other user I tested with was the user I usually use for running auto started virtual machines. But I cant remember doing anything special setting this user up. It is only in its own group and no others. I tried to create a new user and import the VM, but I get the same error as above. I've tried purging virtual box, and completely deleting my conf but it does not work. I just cant figure out what the diff is.
Any help appreciated.
The solution for me was to install virtualbox-4.0 from linux mint. I believe that is actually a downgrade from what in debians repos. Probably packaged different too. Still don't know how the heck I was getting the error I was getting...
sudo apt-get install -f virtualbox-4.0
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Can't start VM in Virtualbox after update

I just updated virtualbox to the latest 4.1.16 r78094 and realized that I can no longer start my virtual machines.
If I start a VM, the error displayed is:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Historical Image.
Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_NO_MEMORY).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

I have 8GB RAM in my VM host which is running OSX 10.6 of which I have over 4GBs free. Does anyone know how I can get my VMs working again?
It is a well known issue and at the moment you have two options:
install new version from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.18/VirtualBox-4.1.18-78361-OSX.dmg
downgrade your version to previous one: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_1
