Have you tried installing the VirtualBox application on Windows?
Oracle asks you to install the necessary Python application for the latest versions of VirtualBox 7.x. This Python package is an additional tool for Windows. If you do not have the win32api and python packages you cannot proceed with the installation.
The win32api package integrates with python, making it easy to use Win32 API features in Python programs.
With the win32api extension, you can access many Windows applications from Python software.
So before installing VirtualBox, make sure you have the necessary Python extension library on your system.
Let's see how it works
Download the Python app from here on Windows 10/11.
Run the Python .exe as administrator and select add Python exe to the PATH
Now, open the CMD command window as administrator and type the following command to install pywin32.
py -m pip install pywin32
Once you install Pywin32, you will not see the win32api error again when trying to install VirtualBox.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
