Hi Team,
When I am trying to install virtualbox, i get the error message as shown in the image below
It says Missing Dependencies Python Core / win32api
I proceeded with the installation but when I try to run the CentOS VM i get different error messages.
How do I resolve the first ‘missing dependencies’ error message shown in the image above.
Please advise and i am stuck and unable to proceed further with the course.
Best Regards
Sanjith
Hi, @Sanjith-R-Warrier
Which OS do you use to install Virtual Box?
I have some references here that may help you solve the problem:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=95577
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=107338
Also, in this installation guide How to Install VirtualBox 7.0 | SYSNETTECH Solutions , the missing dependencies are flagged as warnings, and we can keep moving in the installation process.
Can you attach the error message when you run CenOS so we can have a look?
Happy learning,
Trung.
To resolve this error, first install python from here Download Python | Python.org
Once python is installed, open cmd and execute the below command
pip install pywin32
After this you can start the virtualbox installation and proceed without such warnings.

@naveenreddyjboss
is there an alternative
Try directly from CMD not from the py console.
Elevation of privileges may be required.

@a_charuba I downloaded py and once I entered the command (pip install pywin32) into cmd I kept coming up with the error “‘pip’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file .”
I attempted some online troubleshooting (i.e.: How to Fix ‘Pip‘ is Not Recognized as an Internal or External Command ) but it’s still coming up with the same error and keep coming up with “Missing Dependencies Python core / win32api”
I’m afraid you still don’t have the path correctly added. Try running directly from C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python**\Scri

Hello, I customized my path, so I guess that’s why I can’t find the thing you’re mentioning?
It’s on my D: disk, what should i be looking for here?
naveenreddyjboss:
pip install pywin32
I Uninstalled and installed it again by checking the set PATH box this time. It works now, sry for bothering :d. (I’m a beginner at this stuff

Hello, Thank you for this advice. I uninstalled VirtualBox and then proceeded into command line and typed:
pip install pywin32
However, I got the following messages:
Installing collected packages: pywin32
Successfully installed pywin32-305
Warning: There was an error checking the latest version of pip
Do you have any advice sir?
Thank you,
Lisa

Okay, actually resolved this issue:
Warning: There was an error checking the latest version of pip
by typing into command prompt the following:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
However, I am STILL getting the original message when trying to install Oracle VM VirtualBox 7.0.6.
Missing Dependencies Python Core / win32 api
Hi @Lisa ,
Where are you trying to install?
Did you try to install the older version of the VirtualBox?

c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
I meant Mac or Windows? (Please share the details about the version.)
Thanks everyone. I faced the issue (Win 11/ Python 3.11/VB 7) while installing VB (latest). Then I installed pywin32 using Naveen’s help and now everything works fine. Great community!
