Hi everyone,

Trying to install as your tutorial on youtube, I always have the same problem ( it installed/uninstalled at least 10 times..).

I have a Windows 10 Home. During the installation, in the first window terminal, I have the message as sent below. ( I copied it in .txt ) I first thought it was my Avast antivirus, so I disabled it. Then I tried to install checking the NDIS5 driver instead of NDIS6. I tried to install VirtualBox 5.0.12 on my own, by the command prompt using "-msiparams NETWORKTYPE=NDIS5" . Same error...

Thank you very much for your time and your explanations. Arthur bug_install_openfoam.txt

Hello albesaca, actually I installed Oracle Virtual Box ( the newest ) and it runs for me now !

Sorry if I maybe doubled the topic.. I thought maybe windows Home was the problem.. Actually I installed the newest version of VirtualBox 5.2.8 that I found on the Oracle website. For this, I uninstalled the whole package ( openFoam, VBox and docker ) , then I installed the newest version of VBox. After that I installed openFoam without checking VirtualBox in the list. With that it worked like the tutorial.Everything works, also the butterfly plugin ! Happy ;) Thx a lot for all the work behind what we see..
