Local installation stuck on 'Host Machine'

Support
1

Hi, I have looked at some similar topics, but am finding them a bit unfathomable. Although I did follow an instruction to go into the BIOS and enable virtualisation and it would seem a result of that a new programme has been added by the name of ‘Oracle VM Virtual Box’ However, installation is still stuck when it gets to ‘Host Machine’. Here is my log file:

Install has now frozen on ‘Host Machine’ - the arrow is no longer circulating - and I have received the following error message: image

@photobill108 Did you find a solution for this? I get the same exact message and I have pretty much tried everything I can think of. Although, I have to say my setup is strange as I am trying to run Flywheel on a Windows 7 64bit on a VirtualBox install on a Mac machine. This may not be possible, but before I giveup i’ll try to exhaust all avenues.

@JP2017,

I don’t believe nested virtualization is supported by VirtualBox. Here’s a ticket in their issue tracker: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4032

I use Parallels for the daily development of the Windows version of Local. You just need to make sure nested virtualization is enabled.

@photobill108,

Can you try upgrading VirtualBox to v5.2.8? Here’s the direct download link to the installer: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.8/VirtualBox-5.2.8-121009-Win.exe

Once you do that, delete/remove the local-by-flywheel VM in VirtualBox and re-open Local.

@clay Thanks. That saves me from banging my head trying to get it to work.

Thanks, I have now upgraded VirtualBox as you suggested.

With regard to your suggestion to “delete/remove the local-by-flywheel VM in VirtualBox and re-open Local”, I went looking for VMs under the drop-down menu ‘Machines’ in VirtualBox. All menu options are greyed-out, apart from ‘New’ and ‘Add’, so I assume that no VM to remove.

I’ve restarted my computer, then launch Local by Flywheel, and still receive the same error message as above. What do you suggest?

8

@clay - any further thoughts in response to my message of March 3? Thanks a lot!

@photobill108,

Sorry for the delay.

Can you please provide a screenshot of what you see in VirtualBox?

10

I am not sure what you mean. There doesn’t seem to be anything there in VirtualBox - so this is all I can see. But please let me know if there is something else you need a screenshot of.
