Hi!
I want to crunch for LHC@home. For this, I installed BOINC+Virtual Box. But LHC@home gives me the
message "Virtual Box not installed". What can I do?

Machine: AMD FX-6100, 8 GB RAM
OS : Windows 10 ist 64bit
BOINC: 8.0.2

Thanks in advance,

Lost

Make sure you install everything correctly.
And do not install BOINC as a service, but as a user installation.

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_8.0.2_windows_x86_64_vbox.exe
running this will start the BOINC installer followed immediately by the VBox installer. You have to finish both. And probably need to restart to get everything for VBox installed and registered. You start BOINC after you started VBox, as BOINC will not start VBox for you.
