   Hello Tommi Koivula!   
      
    TK> I have this one installed in this Win7 computer:   
      
    TK>  VirtualBox Graphical User Interface   
    TK>  Version 7.0.20 r163906 (Qt5.15.2)   
    TK>  Copyright  2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates.   
      
   I'll have to consider that one some time, I guess.   
      
      
    AA>> I went through a successful Python pip install (for some   
    AA>> required dependencies), but a subsequent install of   
    AA>> virtualbox itself fails. Grabbed the latest VB offering   
    AA>> at the Oracle site: version 7.1.4 and 64bit.   
      
    TK> Never did anything like this..   
      
   7.1.4 definitely wanted Python installed.  :(   
      
      
    AA>> Is there an installation log that documents the issues..   
      
    TK> How about something like "C:\Users\tommi\.VirtualBox" ..   
      
   Someone else in a blog/usergroup mentioned to try the %temp%/    
   Roaming/VirtualBox dir, but the log files there did not offer     
   much.   
      
   From someone else's experience, 6.0.20 was considered to be the     
   last version to support win7, so I tried that.  The install     
   actually finished with that one!   
      
   But.. after that, the whole internet connection on the pc     
   stopped working; the win7 pc could talk to my local network/    
   router, but there was no connection to the internet beyond     
   that. I rebooted several times, tried to restart the network     
   manually several ways - but there was no difference.   
      
   That situation was dire.  So.. I decided to do a system restore     
   back to before I started with the Python and VB installs.      
   That, worked.. and I got internet back.   
      
   After this experience, not going to play with VB for at least a     
   few days.   
      
   I would really like the convenience of having a linux OS     
   operating simultanously on my win7 machine.   
      
   Did you need Virtualization enabled in BIOS?  My BIOS supports     
   virtualization, but it's reported as disabled.
