This extension pack is not supported in FreeBSD. It's supported in osx, Linux, Solaris and Windows.

 

[kpedersen]

What did you need from the extension pack? Perhaps we can find an alternative.

As far as I know, everything can be replaced other than USB 2.0+ emulation.

Thanks...

Exactly; from <https://www.freshports.org/emulators/virtualbox-ose/#description>:

For the Extension Pack: FreeBSD is not a supported host platform.
Installation of the Pack will not extend the feature set.

heraldo you can add the Solved prefix to your topic. Thanks.

heraldo you can add the Solved prefix to your topic. Thanks.

I think that would be a very "IT Services" style definition of solved. Nothing has actually been achieved. No real solution has been found.

Instead I would recommend exploring other extension packs such as VNC if that (or RDP support) was the OP's reason behind requiring the extension pack.

Nothing has actually been achieved.

OP got the answer why he can't use the extension he was trying to use and he doesn't need to waste time trying to find non-existent solution. He asked a question, he got the reply why. That is not "nothing" in my eyes.

 

[eternal_noob]

OP didn't even answer @kpedersens question what he needs from the expansion pack. This thread is far from being solved.

 

[_martin]

OP didn't ask for it, kpedersen's question is irrelevant to the issue he's having. He asked why it's not working he got the answer. It's up to him if he asks more to the topic or considers it solved. I personally don't care if the thread is marked as solved ; I pointed out it's not "nothing" when it comes to my answer.

 

[eternal_noob]

Fair point. ?

 

[heraldo]

I need some infrequent emulations on Windows 98 and XP. I'll check if it's really necessary. Thank you all.

Thank you for the information on how to proceed if this extension is absolutely necessary.

In addition to the shortlist of bullet points at <https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing>:

• if I recall correctly, the Extension Pack allows the virtual display to be recorded using VirtualBox

– without the pack, recording will silently fail.
