I am installing Flywheel 3.0.4 on Windows 10. VM loaded and then received the error message Unable to start the ‘VM: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe startvm local-by-flywheel –type headless failed:’

I reloaded latest edition VM but tried to force start but received error message 'Failed to open a session for the virtual machine **local-by-flywheel** ,

Help appreciated.

Fixed. Updated Win 10. Disabled anti virus during install. Uninstalled DB 6.0 and installed VB 5.0. Reinstalled Local by Flywheel.
