Failed to create the host-only adapter - windows 10, docker, virtualbox

Question

I\'ve recently run into this problem after having used docker toolbox without a problem for a while.

Started happening after windows update?

Windows 10 Home - 64

Answer 1

I got the same error:

(default) VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component HostNetworkInterfaceWrap, interface IHostNetworkInterface

but in my case I was trying to install Docker Toolbox on Windows 8.1 64-bit.

Windows-8.1-6.3.9600-SP0 : AMD64

Previously, I had virtualbox version 6.0 installed on my system, so I unchecked the docker toolbox installer option, install virtualbox.

For my scenario it worked to uninstall virtualbox 6.0 reboot the system and install VirtualBox-6.1.12-139181

Note: As uninstaller use this tool.

And ready docker in windows 8.1 running.
