Thank you. I tried this last night. Step #1 failed: $ sudo kextload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv Password: Executing: /usr/bin/kmutil load -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv Kernel request failed: (libkern/kext) kext (kmod) start/stop routine failed (-603946985)
Undaunted I proceeded to steps #2 and #3, then ran the *.pkg installer. When the installer said to approve Oracle, I switched over, did so, and rebooted when told to do so. After the reboot I was able to open a Win7 VM with IE11. The About box said I was running 6.1.16. I have not tired running the commands in step #5. I don't know they do but all I need is a VM with IE11 for a little testing. (Thankfully, the new products under development need only target evergreen browsers.)
