Hi all,  
I’m using SLED11 SP2 32 bit with gnome only. I already have VirtualBox Installed, & it was working well. Today I download latest version of VBOX, “VirtualBox-4.1.22-80657-Linux\_x86.run”. I installed it as root user. But whenever I try to run VirtualBox from terminal, it displaying “Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall.”. Only as root I can able to run VBOX. Even if I try from terminal as normal user “/opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox” it displaying a error window with following content  
"  
Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.  
The application will now terminate.

Callee RC:  
NS\_ERROR\_FACTORY\_NOT\_REGISTERED (0x80040154)

"

I also tryed to run VBOX from “More Applications” —\> “Oracle VM VirtualBox” but it does not displaying anything

Can anyone please help me to figure this out

Hi  
Uninstall the .run version and download/install the SLE11 rpm instead

Hi malcolmlewis,  
Where to find the SLE11 rpm, on “[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html)”  
I didn’t find that package for SLED-11.
