Installation of Virtual Box on Mac OS -- Kernel Driver Not loaded


While trying to install Virtual Box on Mac OS the installation fails and show me the failure message. But still I get a copy of Virtual Box installed. When add a KMDV file and try to start it I get an error saying Kernel driver not installed. I am attaching those messages here. Does others also face similar issue, would be nice to get some views on this.

Thanks.enter image description here


Solution

  • Go to Security and Privacy / General in your System Settings. You will see that software from Oracle has been blocked. Allow it, and the software will work. The 'allow Oracle' option only exists for 30mins after the installer error.

    See Apple's technical note on this.
