I had this problem. I used a third-party uninstaller to remove the borked installation since Windows couldn’t handle it. I was able to install normally after that.

I have been noticed about the new version 2.2.2 but I have not upgraded yet!
Is there any special in this version compared to the older ones?

Cranial-bore: as far as I know no such thing officially exists for VirtualBox, probably because licensing the use of a MS operating system, however cut-down, is Microsoft's own right. If you've made yourself a VistaPE image, however, you could use that fairly easily in a virtual machine. And of course there are lots of CD images including bootable CDs for other operating systems.

I had this same problem recently when I upgraded from Ubunut 8.04 to 9.04 i’m not sure which versions of Vbox I was running either time up a repair of the installation fixed everything except a few applications that I had to reinstall.

With VirtualPC MS provide ready to use images for testing older IE versions. These avoid having to do the full installation of the OS in the virtual environment.
Does Virtual Box provide a similar feature?
Or would I have to actually install say Windows XP from a CD to get it and IE6 running?
