<title>Performing the Installation</title>
<body>
<p>The <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> installation can be started in either of the following
ways: </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>By double-clicking on the executable file. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>By entering the following command: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">VirtualBox-<version>-<revision>-Win.exe -extract</pre>
<p>This will extract the installer into a temporary directory, along with the .MSI file. Run the following
command to perform the installation: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">msiexec /i VirtualBox-<version>-<revision>-Win.msi</pre>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Using either way displays the installation <b outputclass="bold">Welcome</b> dialog and enables you to choose
where to install <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>, and which components to install. In
addition to the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> application, the following components are
available: </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">USB support.</b> This package
contains special drivers for your Windows host that
<ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> requires to fully support USB devices inside
your virtual machines.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Networking.</b> This package
contains extra networking drivers for your Windows host that
<ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> needs to support Bridged Networking. This
enables your VM's virtual network cards to be accessed from
other machines on your physical network.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Python support.</b> This
package contains Python scripting support for the
<ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> API, see <xref href="VirtualBoxAPI.dita"><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Programming Interfaces</xref>.
For this to work, an already working Windows Python
installation on the system is required.
</p>
<p>See, for example: <ph>http://www.python.org/download/windows/</ph>. </p>
<note>
<p>Python version 3 is required. Python version 2.x is no longer supported. </p>
</note>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Depending on your Windows configuration, you may see warnings about unsigned drivers, or similar. Click <b
outputclass="bold">Continue</b> for these warnings, as otherwise <ph
conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> might not function correctly after installation. </p>
<p>The installer will create an <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> group in the Windows <b
outputclass="bold">Start</b> menu, which enables you to launch the application and access its documentation. </p>
<p>With standard settings, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> will be installed for all users on
the local system. If this is not wanted, you must invoke the installer by first extracting as follows: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">VirtualBox.exe -extract</pre>
<p>Then, run either of the following commands on the extracted .MSI file. This will install <ph
conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> only for the current user. </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">VirtualBox.exe -msiparams ALLUSERS=2</pre>
<pre xml:space="preserve">msiexec /i VirtualBox-<version>-Win.msi ALLUSERS=2</pre>
<p>If you do not want to install all features of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>, you can set
the optional <codeph>ADDLOCAL</codeph> parameter to explicitly name the features to be installed. The following
features are available: </p>
<dl>
<dlentry>
<dt>
VBoxApplication
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Main binaries of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>.
</p>
<note>
<p>
This feature must not be absent, since it contains the
minimum set of files to have working <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>
installation.
</p>
</note>
</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt>VBoxUSB </dt>
<dd>
<p>USB support. </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt>VBoxNetwork </dt>
<dd>
<p>All networking support. This includes the VBoxNetworkFlt and VBoxNetworkAdp features. </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt>VBoxNetworkFlt </dt>
<dd>
<p>Bridged networking support. </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt>VBoxNetworkAdp </dt>
<dd>
<p>Host-only networking support </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt>VBoxPython </dt>
<dd>
<p>Python support </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
</dl>
<p>For example, to only install USB support along with the main binaries, run either of the following commands: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">VirtualBox.exe -msiparams ADDLOCAL=VBoxApplication,VBoxUSB</pre>
<pre xml:space="preserve">msiexec /i VirtualBox-<version>-Win.msi ADDLOCAL=VBoxApplication,VBoxUSB</pre>
