Virtualbox is installed in win7. The specified path cannot be found.

Among all Virtual Machine Software, VMWare and Microsoft Windows Virtual PC do not support the installation of Windows 8 M1, M2, and M3. The only choice is Oracle VM vitualbox.
However, after downloading Oracle vitualbox, many of my friends encountered a problem during Windows 7 installation (the same is true for Windows Vista, XP, and other systems). When a dialog box pops up, "Installation failed! Error: the specified path cannot be found ."
This problem occurs mainly because the user name you log on to Windows (win7, Vista, XP, and so on) is a Chinese name, or the installation path you specified contains Chinese characters.
Yes, although virtualbox itself supports Simplified Chinese, it does not have special processing on these multi-byte Chinese and Japanese characters, leading to installation failure.
If you know the reason, the solution will be released accordingly. There are two methods:

Method 1:

Change the english user name to log on to the system (if not, create a new user) and install it in a path that does not contain Chinese characters;

Method 2:

If you do not want to change the current user name and still want to use the Chinese or Japanese Korean name, you can do this --

1. Find the folder where you saved the virtualbox Installation File and decompress it manually. Assume that you have downloaded

Virtualbox InstallationProgramIs F: \ downloads \ VirtualBox-4.0.6-71416-Win.exe, enter "cmd" in the Start menu's search box, run, open the command prompt line, then enter:
F: \ downloads \ VirtualBox-4.0.6-71416-Win.exe-extract

  2. files will be automatically extracted to the following locations:

C: \ User \ USERNAME \ appdata \ Local \ temp \ virtualbox (note that XP will be decompressed in my document-current user's temporary file directory, if the system is optimized through third-party software such as 360, it is likely to transfer the Temporary Folder address ).

In this way, you will see three files in this folder: Common. Cab, VirtualBox-4.0.6-71416-MultiArch_amd64.msi (64-bit system running this installation), VirtualBox-4.0.6-71416-MultiArch_x86.msi (32-bit system running this installation ).

In this way, you can refer to virtualbox installation in Windows 7, Vista, XP, and other systems.
