    Thanks for reaching out.

    To install VirtualBox 7.2.0, you need to first install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package, which provides essential runtime components required by VirtualBox.

    Steps to Install the Redistributable Package:

    1. Download the Redistributable

    Visit the official Microsoft page:

    https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

    Scroll to the section for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 and download both:

    vc_redist.x64.exe (for 64-bit systems)

    vc_redist.x86.exe (for 32-bit systems)

    Do not download the ARM64 version unless specifically required. [How to ins...19 for ...], [installing...le Package], [[Fixed] Vi...le Package]

    2.Run the Installer

    Double-click the downloaded .exe files.

    Accept the license terms and complete the installation.

    Restart your computer after installation.

    1. Install VirtualBox 7.2.0

    Once the redistributable is installed, proceed with installing VirtualBox. The error should no longer appear.

    Let me know if the issue persists after following these steps. I’ll be happy to assist further if needed. If the issue has been resolved, please click "Accept Answer".
