Hi @mito_O

Did you verify the installer?

tried also to delete .VirtualBox folder & VirtualBox vms folder
uninstalling VirtualBox & reinstalling it

won’t help ,

if you could provide a torrent file for both gateway & workstation that would be awesome …

HI @mito_O

You should not use the installer unless less you can verify it.

https://whonix.org/wiki/Installer/Verify_the_Installer_using_the_command_line

That was going to be my next suggestion. : )

Sorry, don’t have one.

My suggestion would be to remove the Whonix part of your question as per the

You may want to start off by trying to import a non-whonix VM into Vbox.

Also https://forums.virtualbox.org/ would be a good place to find additional help with your problem.
