I did a search on the internet and on the forums and wasn't able to find an answer. Question: Is there a way to install virtualbox as part of the Boinc installing to someplace other than my C Drive? Thank you |

To clarify: there's no way of changing the VirtualBox installation drive during a combined BOINC+VB installation operation. But there's nothing to stop you doing two separate installations: download VB from Oracle, and use the non-VB BOINC installer. The net effect will be the same - BOINC will still recognise VirtualBox even if installed separately. |

Thank you for your help and answers. I'll download and install vbox separately. |

Just a quick note: Don't download version 5.2. Download the previous version. 5.2 is currently incompatible with BOINC (work is erroring out). The development folks are still working on remedying this. |
