This error has two typical reasons:
1) VirtualBox wasn't installed correctly or
2) the file ~/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml has been corrupted.

The first issue should be resolved by re-installing, and to check if it is caused by the second you can move the file elsewhere and then try starting VirtualBox.

BTW, there is a troubleshooting chapter in the manual which gives additional hints - the information you provide is rather sparse, and such problems are very rare.

I tried posting on forum (https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=65838), but didn't get it resolved.

Thanks.
