Andre Dietisheim commented on JBDS-4252:
----------------------------------------
[~dgolovin] the problem is not the detection of an existing installation. I had 5.1.x
installed, got told by the installer that it was too new and thus, moved the app from
/Applications to the trash. But, and here's the gotcha, virtualbox was still running.
The error message in the log reflects this, it's talking about a running virtualbox.
To me it looks like detecting an installation is not enough. A running virtualbox will
hinder equally. I'd either have a more expressive error message (it just says
"Failed") or even better, detect a running instance beforehand and tell the user
to shut it down.
Installer waits for failed Virtualbox installation (MacOS)

Key: JBDS-4252
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4252

In the logs you see the following:
{code}
0:233: execution error: installer: Error - The installer has detected running virtual
machines. Please shut down all running VirtualBox machines and then restart the
installation. (1)
{code}
The installer simply states "Failed". It would be nice if the installer could
provide more details on why/what failed. Sparing me from having to inspect the logs.
It simply states "Failed" for VirtualBox, the "Red Hat Container
Development Kit" process is waiting for VirtualBox to get installed even though that
failed.
